'DALLAS AREA THEATRE STUFF' PAGE.



B’Ann Grant and The Stingers

Local vocalist B’Ann Grant, backed by “The Stingers,” which boasts some of the best musicians in the southwest, returns to the Pocket Sandwich Theatre to present a wonderful musical mix of country, blues and western swing!

B’Ann is a favorite of the musical critics. Dallas Morning News critic Mario Tarradell has called her “rich and soulful, with a tone that sits somewhere between Patsy Cline and Patty Loveless…old-timey with a honky-tonk flair.” “The Stingers” includes James Anderson (conductor and bass guitar), Bobby Hibbitts (percussion), Larry White (steel guitar), Bobby Rambo (rhythm guitar), Paul White (lead guitar), and Phil Looney (keyboards). Mix in the outstanding voice of B’Ann, and this all combines into a fabulous evening of music and song.

You can check out B’Ann on www.myspace.com/banncountry and come see her live on one of the following Tuesdays:

Brendene presents “Country Roads: A Musical Tribute to John Denver,” with Roy Rivers and Steve Weisberg.

A hit show returns! An evening of great music and comedy. Local comedienne Jill Peters leads off with a hilarious excerpt from her alter ego, Brendene, in “Brendene’s Trailer Talk: Politics, popular music and the prefabricated lifestyle.” Then the main feature – a John Denver Tribute, with Roy Rivers, award-winning John Denver tribute artist and Steve Weisberg who was Denver’s lead guitarist during his most famous years.

“The Light Crust Doughboys” – Grammy Award Winning Western Swing Legends!

“The Light Crust Doughboys”

The Doughboys have just been designated “American Masterpieces Touring Artists” for 2008 by the National Endowment for the Arts, so it’s going to cut into their Pocket Concert time next year. Better catch them while you can so you don’t have to take a trip out of town to see them. So save these dates:

April 28 – “Springtime On The Range”

December 1 – “A Cowboy Christmas”

Their shows are at 7:30, with seating and food and beverage service beginning at 6:15. Tickets are $18. Fine for the family.


“The Class Act Jazz Band”

An outstanding musical group returns. If you caught their act before, you know how great they are; if you didn’t – here’s another chance. Their show will give you a wonderful taste of that great New Orleans sound, with American music from Broadway and Gershwin to Jazz, Blues, Dixieland, and ’60s Rock and Roll, with just a touch of Country thrown in.

It’s the “Class Act Jazz Band,” a group of musicians who have been around for years and are still going strong. They’ve performed at times with (among others) The Levee Dixieland Band and the North Dallas Jazz Band All-Stars, and have now banded together to create a style and sound of their own. Their group consists of well known, longtime musical favorites – Tam Mott (trombone), Jon Stutler (clarinet), Rodney Booth (trumpet), Marla Sporrer (banjo), Dude Kahn (drums), Danny Hollis (keyboard), and Bob Christopher (bass).

Monday, May 5, at 7:30.

Seating and food and beverage service begins at 6:15. Reservations are recommended. Tickets are $14.00. (WEBSITE VISITORS: MENTION THAT YOU SAW IT HERE AND GET $2.00 OFF.) We guarantee you’ll have a good time – like a night out on Bourbon Street…



"The Levee Singers"

These Dallas legends of the ’60s never fail to put on a terrific show – and their popularity proves it! Headliners for years at the old Levee Club, these guys are still in fine form – fresh and fun. Here are their 2008 dates:

May 27

July 29

September 23

November 21 (Friday)

Shows are Tuesday (unless otherwise noted) at 7:30, with seating and food and beverage service at 6:15. Fine family entertainment. Tickets are $18, and worth every cent of it.



“The Big Beats” – Rockin’ Pioneers of the 50s return!

Still rockin’, after all these years! In one of their rare appearances, “The Big Beats,” who spent over twenty years high on the charts in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, will perform on Tuesday, June 17, at the Pocket Sandwich Theatre.

Formed in 1957, “The Big Beats” were the first ’50s Rock & Roll Band to sign with Columbia Records, and became an instant hit with an appearance on Dick Clark’s American Band Stand. They became one of the favorite groups of their time, touring with such Super-Stars as Buddy Holly and The Crickets, Johnny Cash, Gene Vincent, Roy Orbison, Ricky Nelson, and Bobby Darin. The five-piece band toured successfully for more than twenty years. The five artists appearing in this show are C.W. Kendall, Jr., Bobby Rambo, Earl Slocumb, Billy Mitchell, and Larry Randall. Rock music lovers young and old will go wild over these rockin’ pioneers.

Tuesday, June 17, at 7:30.

Seating, and food & drink service, begins at 6:15. Tickets are $18.00. Rated “G”


“Lu Mitchell and Catch 23”

Lu Mitchell, one of Dallas’ funniest women on the club circuit, with her great band, Catch 23. Lu is irreverent and outrageous as she sings about TV evangelists, mammograms and the latest headline news. She will knock your socks off. We’ve talked her into two dates so, far, and trying for more.

Wednesday, June 25.

Shows are at 7:30, with seating and food and beverage service beginning at 6:15. Tickets are $12. Rated “PG-13.”



“The Fabulous Viagras”

“The Fabulous Viagras”

DOO-WOP, DOO-WAH..!

The long awaited return of this unique Dallas doo-wop vocal band, performing the most famous and popular Doo-Wop oldies tunes from the late Fifties and early Sixties.

The group’s trademark is to perform each tune – Doo-Wop classics such as In The Still Of The Night, So Fine, Blue Moon, Sixteen Candles, At The Hop, and many others – as closely to the original as possible. The Fabulous Viagras developed a reputation for classic vocal harmony in the original Doo-Wop style and perform in various venues in the Dallas area. Their appearance here last year was a sell-out, and delighted the audience.

Check them out at www.fabulousviagras.com.

Special show on Saturday, July 5 at 7:30. Seating and food and beverage service begins at 6:15. Reserved tickets are $19. Tickets at the door $25 (if available). Fine for the family.




We’re still working on our 2008 schedule and hope to be getting more of the above as well as some of our other favorites back with us in 2008 – so stay tuned.
