Patty Jewett at 900 E Espanola St, Colorado Springs, CO 80907

Spring fun with an evening of laughter and melody at 'March Merriment,' presented by Art Song Colorado, where jokes and songs intertwine (Jokes/Songs Songs/Jokes) to create a delightful tapestry of entertainment. As another sun sets over Belle Paris, another group of artists sit in a Parisian café and argue over whose musical compositions best captured that French je ne sais quoi! Meet Georges Bizet, Jacques Offenbach, Francis Poulenc, and Erik Satie and their music in this operatic comedy designed to parody their life and times. The show runs about 35 minutes and includes French repertoire, French history and culture, and plenty of silliness!
