Vanessa Greenway: Come On Strong
Fri, May 29, 7:30 PM & Sun, May 31, 3:00 PM
The Shedd Institute, Eugene, OR
Vanessa Greenway celebrates the iconic Lena Horne, a singer, dancer, actress, and civil rights activist whose career spanned more than seventy years, appearing in such musical films as Stormy Weather and Cabin in the Sky, and lit up Broadway in Calypso, Jamaica, and the Tony and Grammy Award-winning Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music. Her powerful voice and charismatic performing style made her performances of favorites such as "Stormy Weather", "Someone To Watch Over Me", "Come On Strong" and "The Rules Of The Road" unforgettable.
Join us for Dinners At Six before evening concerts and after matinées!
Thank you to our sponsors, Syman-Degler Group, Collis Wealth Management, and The Eye Center, for this production.
