The WINE, WOMEN & SONG 20th Anniversary Series
THE WINE, WOMEN & SONG 20TH ANNIVERSARY SERIES MADE POSSIBLE
WITH GENEROUS SUPPORT FROM
PRESENTING SPONSOR | PARTNER SPONSORS Laurie Atwood & Children’s Creative Center Mary & Bill Kinley Bev & Larry Seiford Susan & David Shipman |
Time flies when these Women are having fun, and they are thrilled to celebrate this amazing 20-year run with something special just for you!
Traditionally each year, the Women present 5 shows at the end January, but this year, current events make doing that with the entire cast a bit complicated. Instead, in an effort to keep numbers smaller and safer, these unflappable women will present an exciting series of cabaret shows featuring members of the cast in smaller break-out groups beginning this March.
This anniversary series of 3 concerts will lead-up to an end-of-summer Wine, Women & Song 20th Anniversary Gala in which the Women will all come together again in a special show celebrating 20 years of their clever wit, heartfelt wisdom and delightful whimsy! It will be a grand affair – outdoors, if necessary – that you won’t want to miss!

With songs that are as varied, complex, and enjoyable as the Women themselves, April’s show explores the many reasons these women keep coming back to perform together for you each year. Highlighting their deep friendships, their delight in all things irreverent, their penchant for playing dress-up, and their desire to always lend a helping hand, audiences will be counting the days until they can see another show, even if the women would rather not count how many years they’ve been doing it!
Part 2: 20 Years, But Who’s Counting? is made possble with additional sponsorship from Tom & Ann Schriber.
