The Nov. 17 performance will feature works from the years 1914-1938, to be followed Nov. 18 with songs from “The Golden Era” of Broadway (1939-1963). Selections from the 1964-1988 era will be highlighted Nov. 20; with the final night of the celebration, Nov. 21, focusing on selections from 1989-2013.

Performers are currently scheduled to include Klea Blackhurst, Shelly Burch, Corey Cott, Jason Graae, Kara Lindsay, Jessica Phillips, Tony nominee Ron Raines, pianist Ben Rauhala and jazz violinist and arranger Aaron Weinstein.
