This was followed by the self-titled album Kevin Mahogany, which won him his first critical acclaim in the media, prompting Newsweek Magazine to call Mahogany "&the standout jazz vocalist of his generation." Mahogany appeared in Robert Altman's 1996 film Kansas City playing a character said to be based on Kansas City singer Big Joe Turner.

January Dinner Theater • Time: 5:30 PM |
| Where:9:00 PM
Cultural Center of Charlotte County • Port Charlotte |
| The Cultural Center's 2010-2011 Dinner Theater Season continues on Wednesday, January 12th with a flavorful meal and a rousing performance of The Chris Michaels Variety Show. Chris' comedic rapport is quick to delight any audience, while impressing musicians who recognize his skill. Whether singing a straight ballad or an original parody, his strong baritone voice has been enjoyed across the country. "Dueling Banjos" fought out by his miniature piccolo banjo and his standard five-string is a well-balanced combat that makes this cliché piece a fresh experience. The eerie sound of the musical saw, a once popular part of any vaudeville review, is brought back to life. The comedy surrounding this vintage "heavy metal music" is a well-received highlight of the act. The bagpipe, complete with "kilt" is an unexpected finale! Chris has opened for Rodney Dangerfield, Johnny Rivers, Lorrie Morgan and Ricky Skaggs.
Our dinner menu includes Tarragon Chicken, Wild Rice, Mediterranean Vegetables and Boston Cream Pie. The meal will also include a tossed salad, roll, iced tea, coffee and water. A cash bar will be available during the meal and in the Theater lobby. The meal will be served at 5:30 in the Conference Center and the show will follow at 7:00 pm in the Theater. Tickets for the dinner and show combination are $20.00 for Cultural Center Members or $23.00 for the general public. Can't come for dinner? Then join us for just the show. Tickets are $8.00 for Cultural Center Members and $9.00 for non-members.
The Cultural Center Box Office is located at 2280 Aaron Street in Port Charlotte. You can come by or call for tickets (941) 625-4175 x221. We have representatives available Monday through Friday from 9am to 4pm and Saturdays from 10am until 2 pm. You can also check us out on the web at www.theculturalcenter.com. |
