DAVID KOZ AND FRIENDS TO PERFORM

IN THE AU-RENE THEATRE AT BROWARD CENTER

Dave Koz is one of the better known artists in today’s Jazz and Blues scene, capturing audiences worldwide. In the 1980's Koz was a member of Richard Marx’s band and toured with Marx throughout the late 1980's and early 1990's, which was around the time he recurred as the guest saxophonist on the syndicated late-night talk show, The Arsenio Hall Show.

He also played in the house band of CBS’ short-lived The Pat Sajak Show, with Tom Scott as bandleader. In 1990, Koz pursued a solo career, and began recording for Capitol Records. His albums there include his debut, Lucky Man , The Dance, and Saxophonist, which was nominated for both a Grammy Award and an NAACP Image Award.

During production of his his second album, Lucky Man, Koz was approached by the producers of ABC’s General Hospital to perform on the show, after his track entitled “Emily” was used as part of the show’s soundtrack. After his GH appearance, executive producer Wendy Riche commissioned Koz to write a new theme song for the soap. The new theme titled “Faces of the Heart” remained as the show’s title track and ended up as the third track on Koz’s Lucky Man album.

EMPIRE STAGE THEATRE PRESENTS

THE PREMIERE SHOWING OF CLEMENZA & TESSIO ARE DEAD

Empire Stage will present a limited performance run of Clemenza & Tessio Are Dead by Gregg Greenberg, now on stage through September 8, 2019. The play is a clever and humorous parody of the classic 1972 movie “The GodFather.” Shari Upbin will direct the production, which will star Troy Stanley, Christopher Dreeson, and Aaron Bravo.

Clemenza & Tessio Are Dead takes a look at two little-noticed cogs in the Mafia machine, and shows how those wise guys who are often overlooked can actually have the most fascinating stories of all.

Peter Clemenza and Salvatore Tessio are two longtime foot soldiers of the Corleone crime family, but after more than 40 years of service, upper management changes in the organization, and a preconceived lack of respect from the incoming generation leads them to wonder if they’re being put out to pasture (or under it).

But with the handwriting already on the wall, is it possible to change what fate has already decreed ? Well, yes-but only if someone is cunning enough to radically change the script.

Tickets are $35 now on sale and can be purchased online at empirestage.com or by calling 954-678-1496. The theatre is located at 1140 North Flagler Drive, Fort Lauderdale.
