LAURA AINSWORTH IN "COLE PORTER" BENEFIT SHOW
On Friday, June 29th, singer/comedian Laura Ainsworth and singer/pianist
Michael Gott bring their critically-acclaimed revue "Cole Porter: Elegance
& Decadence" to the historic 1920 RIALTO THEATER (426 West Main Street,
Denison, TX - 903-465-1551 - http://www.smalltownbigart.com/
). The show will be a fundraiser for the Denison Arts Council. A limited
number of VIP tickets are still available that include a post-show reception
with private mini-concert by Laura and Michael.
Laura Ainsworth has appeared on many stages in dramatic,
comedy and musical roles, from Emily Dickinson in the acclaimed Wingspan
Theater production of Susan Sontag's "Alice in Bed" to Mrs. Anna in
"The King & I," to lending her rich mezzo-soprano voice to Gershwin's
"Someone To Watch Over Me" in "Swingin' With The Big Band."
Laura is a second-generation musical prodigy. Her late
father, Bill Ainsworth, was a renowned big band musician who played
with Freddy Martin and other top bandleaders and was reportedly the
youngest member ever of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. As a young girl,
Laura watched enraptured as her dad accompanied such idols as Ella
Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Mel Torme and Marilyn McCoo, playing lead
sax and clarinet for Dallas' famed Fairmont Hotel Venetian Room Orchestra.
For nearly 14 years, she and husband Pat Reeder have
co-written The Comedy Wire, a daily internationally-syndicated topical
humor service for radio DJs, making her one of the most-quoted, least-credited
funny women on Earth.
