St. Paul’s Episcopal Church presents Stages: An Operetta
Ann Marie McPhail, soprano, and Pamela Dillard, mezzo-soprano, perform Stages, a new operetta whose libretto deals with the various stages of life. This promises to be an exciting and entertaining afternoon with these incredibly talented women. In 2008, Ms. McPhail and Ms. Dillard both graced the stage of the Opera Comique in Paris in a critically acclaimed long run of George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. Both women are professors of voice in the Music Department of Spelman College, and both women are staff singers in the Music Department St. Paul’s. Come enjoy an afternoon of drama and fabulous music making!
St. Paul’s is located at 306 Peyton Road SW, Atlanta, GA 30311. Visit their site at http://www.stpaulsatl.org/.
