Venture presents ‘Sweet Georgia Brown’

The New Venture Theatre presents Sweet Georgia Brown, a new musical chock-full of jazz standards and sweet blues songs like “I Put a Spell on You,” “Let the Good Times Roll” and “Down Home Blues.” The eponymous Georgia has thoroughly burned her bridges in the music industry, having physically assaulted Etta James, cursed out Dr. Martin Luther King at a local rally, and stolen the Tree of Hope from the Apollo Theatre. Determined to get back on top, Georgia takes up singing in a hole-in-the-wall club; ready to do whatever it takes to be number one again. Tickets are $20.
