Crystal Gayle to Appear at Downtown Cabaret
Just days after her long-awaited return to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, Crystal Gayle will take the stage at Bridgeport's Downtown Cabaret Theatre on Saturday, June 23, for two performances at 5 and 8 p.m.
The first female artist in country music to achieve platinum album sales, Gayle, who is the sister of Loretta Lynn, has played at Carnegie Hall, Las Vegas and the London Palladium and won numerous awards. Her distinct musical styling has made her a "cross-over" star, and her signature song, "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" was recognized by ASCAP as one of the ten most performed songs of the 20th century.

Kathleen Turner Returns to Long Wharf
Legendary film and stage actress Kathleen Turner is returning to the stage at Long Wharf Theatre to star in and direct "The Killing of Sister George," a new adaptation of the Frank Marcus play by Jeffrey Hatcher. This show replaces the previously announced "God of Carnage" on the schedule and will run from Nov. 28 to Dec. 23.
The play deals with an actress who by day plays Sister George, a nearly saintly woman who tends to the sick and downtrodden on the hit radio show "Applehurst." However, off the air, the actress is a cigar-shewing, gin-swilling holy terror. When her ratings drop and the show is cancelled, all hell breaks loose.
