My
Fair Lady @ The Fox Theatre
With the most beautiful score in musical theater history, MY FAIR
LADY is the charming tale of the Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle
and her pompous but endearing teacher, Professor Henry Higgins.
The Tony Award winning story begins as a contest to prove the professor's
skills at teaching phonetics and ends as a love story for all ages.
A lavish new set, beautiful costumes and truly memorable songs such
as "I Could Have Danced All Night," "Rain in Spain"
and "On The Street Where You Live" will make this show
a favorite. Theater of the Stars is producing a national tour of
regional theaters for this production.

The
Tempest @ Shakespeare Tavern
Directed by Laura Cole
Brought back by popular demand after only 5 performances last August!
A shipwreck casts the King of
Naples and his followers on an enchanted island, peopled by sprites,
strange creatures and its
magical, vengeful ruler, Prospero. This is one Tempest you'll want
to be caught up in.

Ananda
@ Apache Café
Funkhouse presents Ananda Project + DJ Kai Alce + Chris Brann Multi-instrumentalist
and dance guru Chris Brann, who is the mastermind behind other garage/house
tasks such as the Wamdue Project, Wamdue Kidz, and P'Taah, spawned
another house-bred project in the late '90s, aptly titled the Ananda
Project. The Ananda Project was originally a side thing until Brann
was sought out to write a song for the dance label King Street.
The song turned into a working relationship with singer/songwriter
Gaelle Adisson, and the Ananda Project was underway in 1998 with
the cut "Cascades of Colour," and the second single "Straight
Magic" followed a year later.
Accompanying the group's sensual soul and vibronic R&B are Heather
Johnson, Justin Chapman, and Terrance Downs. Johnson, who is a formally
trained jazz vocalist, is a sharp addition to Downs' silky urban
grooves, which are layered among Chapman's spiraling DJ cuts of
cosmic soul and sonic trip-hop. The brooding electronic sounds composed
by the Ananda Project have also caught the attention of fellow DJ
forerunners like Danny Tenaglia, John Digweed, Pete Tong, and David
Morales. In fall 2000, Chris Brann and company stayed close to King
Street to issue the debut Release. Tracks from the album were remixed
by the likes of King Britt, Blue Mar Ten, Blaze and others for 2001's
Re:Release and Brann curated and released his Inspirations compilation
on the Karma Giraffe a year later.Morning Light appeared in 2003.
