2012-2013 Season Kicks Off Next Weekend ...
Tom Paxton & Janis Ian: Together at Last
And Nunset Blvd starring Cindy Williams
 Janis Ian ... you may remember her for the sensitive and soul-searching anthem of the disregarded teenage girl, "At Seventeen" or her controversial mid-1960s hit, "Society's Child." Tom Paxton ... a writer of numerous modern folk classics, such as the fun-loving, carefree "Bottle of Wine," the reflective and regretful "The Last Thing on My Mind," or the whimsical "Marvelous Toy." Touring together for the first time, these two icons of the pop genre have 13 Grammy Award nominations, a couple of chart-topping hits, and a collection of some of the best-loved songs of their generation. Appearing at the Theatre on October 19, this is a tour de force concert you will not want to miss!
 The Little Sisters of Hoboken are off on another crazy Nunsense adventure. This time, they're headed to Tinseltown, thrilled at the prospect of performing at the famed Hollywood Bowl. As they arrive in the city of stars, they discover just a little error, easy to overlook really: their gig is slated not for the Hollywood Bowl, but the Hollywood Bowl-A-Rama. True troopers, they take the somewhat more modest stage in the bowling alley's cabaret lounge and put their hearts into the show. It would be a sin to miss Cindy Williams, the lovable star of the hit TV sitcom "Laverne & Shirley," along with the original New York cast, in this zany musical comedy Nunset Boulevard!
