New American Theater Continues Cabaret Series At BayWalk

New American Theater continues Cabaret Series at BayWalk

New American Theater (NAT) has announced two new shows in their NAT Cabaret Series. Currently onstage is Songs For A New World, with performances thru April 10th. After that, two great cabaret series shows including the return of "Elvis" and a tribute to Peggy Lee.

On April 15 & 16 at 8:00pm, NAT will present "ELVIS: A Concert Experience" with Jim Jinelli. Jim has been impersonating Elvis Presley for more than 20 years. His portrayal of Elvis covers the concert touring years of 1971-1977. Just as Elvis covered many more songs in his concerts than his own, so does Jim, offering the audience a "Concert Experience" as close to the original as possible. This is a 90-minute show and tickets are $20.00.

April 29, 30 & May 1 marks the return of cabaret favorites Samantha McKinnon Brown and James W. Crumbly, Jr., with their tribute "Still Hot for Peggy Lee". This is a celebration of the woman whose talent, Frank Sinatra said, "should be studied by all vocalists." A unique triple threat, Peggy Lee was a singer, actress, and songwriter, who had a subtle, sensual, style, and a voice that just
purred. This 60-minute show shares stories and songs of Peggy Lee, whose musical career spanned six decades. Performances are at 8:00pm on Friday & Saturday, 6:30pm on Sunday. Tickets are $15.00

Tickets for the shows can be purchased online at www.newamericantheater.org, or by calling the box office at 727-575-9241. All performances are general admission and a cash bar is available. The New American Theater Center is located at 183 2nd Avenue North, at BayWalk in downtown St. Petersburg.
