“What do you get when you mix an internationally acclaimed impersonator, outrageous comedy, great standards and a bevy of icons? The hysterical parody of Judy Garland and her guests found in Michael Holmes’ riotous, “The Judy Show!” – Encore Magazine
After a year’s absence and another sold out summer on the East Coast and Europe, Michael Holmes is delighted to bring his award winning production of The Judy Show back home to Saugatuck’s Red Barn Theater for one night only – Friday, September 16 @ 8:00 PM.
Michael Holmes is well known as one of the country’s most sought after impersonator-comedians and cabaret performers appearing from Maui to Marseilles and everywhere in between. Dubbed “Don Rickles in drag,” by Palm Springs Desert Sun Newspaper, Holmes impressions of famous divas are dead on and hysterical in his self produced production of “The Judy Show” in which he appears as Judy Garland and all of her guests. With a wide vocal range, explosive comedy and a killer wardrobe, Holmes has risen to the top of his profession impersonating Bette Davis, Carol Channing, Pearl Bailey, Peggy Lee, Mae West, Billie Holiday, Katherine Hepburn, Tallulah Bankhead and more.
In addition to the show Holmes will be releasing his remastered Judy Show CD and his new jazz standard CD Shall We… at The Red Barn event.
Reserved tickets for “The Judy Show!” are $20 and available in advance by calling The Red Barn Box Office (269) 857.5300. The Red Barn is located one quarter mile east of exit 41 on I196, the corner of Blue Star Highway and 63rd Street.

Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
$15
If you can imagine Jack Johnson playing while Adele sings a jazzed-up version of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” then you’re just beginning to tap into The Bergamot’s signature sound. Jillian has earned instant comparisons to the voices of Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin, and Eva Cassidy, perfectly complementing Nathan’s vocal and guitar style, reminiscent of Dave Matthews and James Taylor. Classically trained, Nathan is a multi-faceted artist, fulfilling an impressive array of roles – including singing, multi-instrumentalist, studio engineer, producer, and musical arranger.
The Bergamot calls their exploratory musical style “Organic Pop,” and they describe their sound as a genre that “integrates catchy melodies and strong rhythms with the presence of an intimate, non-processed sound.” Their goal is to create music that flows naturally, without the pretenses found in mainstream pop music. Stylistically, they are pop infused with rock, jazz, and a touch of Motown. Pair that retro feel with some lovely lyrical imagery and you’ve got a fresh, fervent sound that bursts at the seams.

“Ms. York is jazz singer of cool composure and artful subtlety, as she demonstrates her beautiful new album, “Here with you,” Nate Chinen, New York Times.
Stylish and cosmopolitan, Libby York has a sound that recalls, without any condescension or gratuitous nostalgia, the slightly word weary, been around the block ennui of post war Anita O’ Day, Chris Conner, and Sarah Vaughn.
With her new album, "Sunday in New York," York provides evidence that she is ready to be considered among the foremost jazz singers on the scene today. She is obviously very much at home with a wide range of material, including two often overlooked songs out of the Sinatra canon - "All My Tomorrow's" and "In the Wee Small Hours." Recent appearances have included Philadelphia's Zanzibar Blue and The Vic in Los Angeles
This show is dedicated to Chris Nern.

Start Time: 7:30 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
In Shakespeare’s own lifetime, it was illegal for women to perform on the professional stage in England. Shakespeare wrote his plays for all-male companies of actors in which teenage boys played the women’s roles. For the summer of 2011, the Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company will return to this tradition with an all-male cast production of Shakespeare’s Cymbeline. Pigeon Creek will then follow this production by giving its female actors a turn in an all-female cast production of Henry IV Part 1.
Henry IV Part 1 is an epic history play which follows the exploits of Prince Hal, who rebels against his father Henry IV, preferring the company of Sir John Falstaff and London’s criminal element to his duties as heir to the throne. When the famed soldier Henry “Hotspur” Percy leads a revolt against the king, Hal must choose between his friends and his duty to his father. The cast of Henry IV Part 1 features Kathleen Bode, Heather Folkvord, Lindsey Hansen, Kat Hermes, Claire Mahave, Amy McFadden, Katherine Mayberry, Janna Rosencrantz, and Sarah Stark. Frequent Pigeon Creek actor Scott Lange directors the production.
Performed by the Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Co.

Touring behind a new disk, Catie Curtis makes her debut at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts. Her vivid songwriting combines insightful lyrics with addictive melodies and energy. Catie's recordings (released on EMI, Rykodisc, Vanguard and Compass), engaging live shows and an impressive touring career (in the US and Europe) have earned her rave reviews and wide recognition. Her songs have been featured on Dawson's Creek, Felicity, Alias, Chicago Hope, and Grey's Anatomy, as well as in several independent films. She's toured extensively with Mary Chapin Carpenter and with the original Lilith Fair.
Catie was named grand prize winner of the International Songwriting Competition, for her song "People Look Around", co-written with Mark Erelli. In January 2009, she performed at the Human Rights Campaign's official Obama inaugural ball, and in 2010, she performed at the White House.
