McCorkle Sings Irving Berlin

"Dancing Cheek to Cheek," "Let's Face the Music and Dance," "How Deep Is the Ocean" - to many, there were never better songs to sing or listen to than Irving Berlin classics such as these.

On Saturday, Susannah McCorkle will present a preview of her new show, "The Passionate Irving Berlin," at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor at 7 p.m. She will be accompanied by Allen Farnham on the piano and Chris Berger on bass.

Ms. McCorkle, a leading interpreter of jazz and pop standards, was named Singer of the Year by The Los Angeles Times and has won many honors, including the New York Music Award. In addition to the above-mentioned songs, she will sing "Heat Wave," "I'd Rather Lead a Band," and her celebrated version of "There's No Business Like Show Business."

Volunteers Needed

Special material for the show includes her medley of Berlin hits as sung by Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, and Ethel Waters and a witty medley of special occasion songs.

Bay Street has announced that it is looking for volunteers for ushering and concessions to work six to 10 evenings or matinees during the summer season.

In return, volunteers enjoy invitations to dress rehearsals and participate in gala events and fund-raisers. Those interested have been asked to call Vivian Bell at the theater.
