JOE PECK, THAT’S THE WAY I REMEMBER IT

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1 at 9pm

Baritone/Tenor vocalist Joe Peck has appeared on stage in productions at The Kennedy Center, Ford’s Theatre, Open Circle Theatre, Theatre Lab, Signature Theatre, Olney Theatre, and The Washington Savoyards, among others. Joe works on camera in commercials, industrials and independent films, and he performs regularly in voiceovers as a narrator as well as providing character voices. After college, he pursued a successful career in government and government affairs before returning to the stage and performing full-time in the last several years. It is this breadth of experience - on and off the stage - that uniquely informs his performances. Joe has appeared in cabaret performances at DC venues as diverse as Mimi's American Bistro, Mr. Henry's Capitol Hill, Maggie's Cabaret at St. Margaret's, and the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop. His vocal training includes work at MTSU and with Wayne Kemp Vocal Studios. You can find him online at www.joepeck.net.

 

Joe Peck says: DCCN Members Joe Peck and Alex Tang will reprise the popular show "That's the Way I Remember It" on December 1 as part of the Indigo Cabaret Series at the Atlas Performing Arts Center. This show is an incredibly fun time-warp of memories and melodies so funny it'll make you cry and so heartwarming it'll make you laugh. You will not want to miss a chance to hear such an eclectic collection of favorites -- standards, pop, R&B, folk, jazz, musical theatre, and - yes - a little country to boot. With this show there's a surprise around every corner. Info at http://www.joepeck.net. Tickets at http://www.atlasarts.org or 202-399-7993.

by the Network. We do not post events previous to the date of the newsletter.

We do not post notices for events we know to be sold out. If you have any questions about our listing policy, please contact us at dccabaretnetwork@hotmail.com or through our website www.dccabaretnetwork.org

 

 

 

 

 

POLICY REGARDING EDITS TO SUBMISSIONS PUBLISHED IN MULTIPLE EDITIONS OF NEWSLETTER

We gladly publish notices of paid up members in multiple editions of the newsletter. If you have a notice published in the newsletter, and the date of the event will carry the notice into subsequent editions of the newsletter, check your information frequently and verify it is correct.

 

We understand that sometimes plans and arrangements change. If you have a notice currently published in the newsletter, but need to update or change the information, re-submit your notice IN FULL (exactly as you’d like it to appear in the newsletter), including the changes, to dccabaretnetwork@hotmail.com.  In a separate paragraph, specifically point out the changes that you made.  We will cut/paste your updated notice into the newsletter, calling attention to the changes made. If you have a notice published in the newsletter, and the date of the event will carry the notice into subsequent editions of the newsletter, and we do not receive a new/complete submission (as stated above) with changes specifically pointed out, your notice will appear exactly as before.
