Comedy with Billy D. Washington – Friday, January 15, 2010- 8:00pm
Billy is a witty, philosophical, piano-playing comedian, who works as a nationally recognized headliner. Not only talented musically, he possesses an incredible ability to create cleverly constructed jokes and improvise obscure audience situations. After an hour of this poetic and intelligent banter, people often wonder why they haven't heard more of him. He is quietly one of the most sought after comedians in the country. If you don't believe it...ask Miss Aretha Franklin. After opening for one of her concerts in 2003, she was so impressed with him she hired him on the spot to open all her shows nationwide for the next 3 years. Billy was one of the original VH-1 V-Jay’s, and has more recently been featured on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, as well as numerous television appearances on HBO, NBC, Fox, CBS & Last Comic Standing.

Life is So Good – Friday, February 12, 2010 – 7:30pm
Mike Wiley returns with David zum Brunnen in the inspiring true story of a slave’s grandson who goes to school and learns to read at age 98. Based on Richard Glaubman’s bestseller about 103-year-old George Dawson, this is the adaption of the Oprah-selected book that received the 2001 Christopher Award for work affirming “the highest values of the human spirit.” It is the story of an entire century; a life lived by George’s credo: ‘Life is so good. I do believe it’s getting better.’ ”If you go to the theater to have your soul uplifted, experience the magic that great productions create or watch the first-rate talent on stage and off—you’ll get it all in “Life is So Good.” —News & Observer
