An Evening with Lillian Baxter

at Herb Strauss Theater

John Vessels is Hollywood's favorite has-been: Lillian Baxter!
From her early days at MGM to her short but fruitful television career on such hit shows as The Thrifty Vittles Happy-Time Song Hour, Life with Maureen, and The Lillian Baxter Show, Ms. Baxter will sing the songs and tell the stories of her arduous climb to the middle. Along for the ride on this musical romp-down-memory-lane is Lillian's faithful accompanist, international playboy and favorite ex-husband, Corky Weinstopper (played by Jay Schwandt). You simply cannot miss this delightful comedy-cabaret-memoir of the greatest star nobody's ever heard of—so come share An Evening with Lillian Baxter!
Show starts at 8 p.m., Tuesday, June 11, Wednesday, June 12 and Thursday, June 13.

Adults: $42
Child 17 & Under: $20

An Evening with John Vessels

8 PM June 14 to 16
at Herb Strauss Theater

Has it really been NINE years since John Vessels has been on a Sanibel stage?! It has, and now the Herb Strauss Theater brings him back for a limited time! John has been performing all around the country in theater and musicals, comedies and dramas, school plays and home movies (he ain't proud) - and now he's back on his favorite island to sing a song or two and to tell folks what he's been up to for the last near-decade. An alumnus of the Old Schoolhouse Theater in such hits as Forever Plaid, Run for Your Wife, The Big Bang, Swing Sisters, Lend Me a Tenor, and a whole bunch of Ho! Ho! Ho! the Christmas Shows, Vessels has written this cabaret—featuring accompanist and arranger, Jay Schwandt—just for you. Don't miss this Valentine to the best little island in the world from Sanibel's biggest fan. Come spend An Evening with John Vessels!
Show starts at 8 p.m., Friday, June 14, Saturday, June 15 and Sunday, June 16.

Adults: $42
