DIANA ROSS The Supreme pop diva treats her fans to an unforgettable night of new and enduring hits from her repertoire. A 12-time Grammy-winner and Oscar-nominated singer/actress/record producer, Ross is not only one of the most iconic female singers of all time, but also one of the most prominent women in popular music history and culture. Ross has also won the Golden Globe and Tony Award, and the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors recognized her contributions to American culture and humanitarian work in December 2007.

Ross’ Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning portrayal of Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues is a legend on its own. Her jazz recording, BLUE, from the Motown vaults was recently released to wide critical acclaim and her most recent album, I Love You, has already received rave reviews and jumped onto the charts as Billboard Magazine’s Hot Shot Debut title.

Beginning in the 60’s, as lead singer of The Supremes, Ross achieved the unprecedented feat of twelve No.1 singles in the U.S., becoming the most successful American group in history. Ross went on to achieve six No.1 singles as a solo artist. Join this legend at Segerstrom Hall and celebrate memories as you create new ones.

Backseats and Bathroom Stalls –

A Not-so Romantic Comedy of Bad Manners

Bisexual, pansexual or just sexual – the raunchy, hilarious play by writer/director Rob Mersola explores it all as it follows 6 New Yorkers navigating through the woes of dating. The charming play is buoyed by a stellar cast that makes it hard for any one person to steal the show. A chance to socialize with the talent after each performance at neighboring Casita Del Campo makes this the hottest ticket (and play) in town. The hot cast includes Anil Kumar, Sadie Alexandru, Daniel Ponickly, Joshua Bitton, Michael Alperin and the intense Jeni Pearsons.
