“A genuine musical theatre star! As an actress, singer, comedienne and all-around warming presence, Bernadette Peters has no peer in musical theatre.” -The New York Times
This event will benefit CityRep Theatre, Oklahoma's award-winning professional theatre.
Throughout her illustrious career, multi Tony Award-winning actress Bernadette Peters has dazzled audiences and critics with her performances on stage and television, in concert, and on recordings.
Peters recently starred on Broadway in the critically acclaimed production of Follies, after a highly successful run at the Kennedy Center. Prior to that, she starred in the Tony Award-winning masterpiece, A Little Night Music opposite Elaine Stritch.
This year, Bernadette received her third Tony award, The Isabelle Stevenson Award that acknowledges an individual from the theatre community who has made a substantial contribution of volunteered time and effort on behalf of one or more humanitarian, social service or charitable organizations, regardless of whether such organizations relate to the theatre.
Peters, along with good friend Mary Tyler Moore co-founded Broadway Barks! - an organization that promotes the adoption of shelter animals. Broadway Barks! has evolved into an event that not only focuses on the plight of homeless animals but had opened the door of communication and fostered a spirit of community among the numerous shelters and rescue groups working throughout New York. Their annual star-studded animal adoption event takes place in New York City’s famed Shubert Alley.
An Evening with Bernadette Peters will be presented at the Visual and Performing Arts Center Theater on the campus of Oklahoma City Community College, 7777 South May Avenue Oklahoma City, OK 73159 for one night only, March 3, at 8 p.m.
