OAKDALE, NY - Singer/actor Frank Zagottis will bring his critically
acclaimed cabaret show BACK-2-BASICS to Dowling College's Performing
Arts Center on Saturday, August 5, 2006 at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. His pop
versatility, theatricality and personal life experiences combine to
create a night of musical entertainment with touches of poignancy and
humor. Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Dowling College Drama
Club.
Rather than creating a more conventional evening of cabaret filled with
nightclub standards or show-tune torches, Zagottis has created an
evening of unique material from different musical genres. All of which
when combined take the audience somewhat of a musical journey; one that
explores what we go through when we "look back at where we've been, so
that we can know where we're going." BACK-2-BASICS is directed by Bill
Daugherty and written by Zagottis with musical direction by Mario
Sprouse.
According to John Hoglund of Back Stage, "Zagottis has a beautiful
voice and a warm personality that is sure to gain him considerable
attention. Zagottis created some magical moments. His gusty vocal
inflections carried the show, giving each song a sense of purpose."
General admission costs $15 per person. Dowling College students with
a current valid Dowling identification card are asked to donate $7 for
admission. Tickets may be purchased in advance by calling 631-244-5037.
Reservations will be held at the box office until 15 minutes before each
performance.
