Dixie Carter to Perform Benefit Cabaret for Henlopen Theater |
Dixie Carter will bring her critically acclaimed cabaret straight from New York Citys Cafe Carlyle to the Little Theatre (in the Cape Henlopen High School) at 8:00 p.m., Aug. 8. The performance will benefit the Henlopen Theater Project, which will launch its first full summer season of Equity Theater, featuring professional actors and directors, at the Little Theatre in 1999.
Ms. Carter, embarking on a nationwide tour of performing arts centers with her concert/cabaret evening, combines her talents as a singer and comedienne in the show. The New York Times calls Ms. Carter, "A performer who inhabits a song totally while singing it, veering from madcap playfulness one minute to intense, teary-eyed romanticism the next...glamorous...romantic... brilliant...the cabaret worlds most elegantly funny cutup." She is perhaps most widely known for her seven-year starring role as Julia Sugerbaker on TVs Designing Women, and appearances on On Our Own, Out of the Blue, Filthy Rich and Diffrent Strokes. Ms. Carter has performed numerous roles on stage, including Maria Callas in Terrance McNallys award-winning play, Master Class, and has produced CDs, workout videos and books on tape. Ms. Carter is on the Henlopen Theater Projects Distinguished Artists Advisory Board along with her husband, actor Hal Holbrook. Tickets for Dixie Carters benefit performance are $100 and includes a European-style caf reception following the performance. At press time, the performance was nearly sold-out, so dont delay getting tickets. Call the Henlopen Theatre Project at (302) 226-4103. |
