Celebrate the women of Shakespeare in song when performer, writer and director Nancy Husby brings her live show and concert “Shakespeare’s Ladies Sing: The Girls from Stratford-upon-Avon” to Sedona. There will be one performance on Sunday, Oct. 28, at 2 p.m. on the Goldenstein Stage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre, presented by the Sedona International Film Festival.

“Shakespeare’s Ladies Sing: The Girls from Stratford-upon-Avon” explores and reveals the myth of the ‘common’ woman — she who is bawdy, sly, provocative, alluring, challenging, flexible and enduring — young and in love; contemporary and ambitious; old and sorrowful. Interpreted with high drama and low comedy by Jim Buchanan and Husby, Will’s girls will come to life in this very special, entertaining show, soaring past mere words through the melodies of masterworks from Verdi’s “Macbeth” to Bernstein’s “West Side Story.” Husby started her career in nightclub cabarets and continued on into theatre, musical comedy and opera as performer, writer and director. She has sung with theater and opera companies from coast to coast — New York City Opera to Tacoma Opera, as well as international symphony orchestras. Buchanan has been music minister at Christ Lutheran Church in Sedona for 24 years. He is a pianist, organist, choir director, accompanist, and has produced and performed for 20 years in concerts in Sedona, commonly known as Jim Buchanan and Friends. “Shakespeare’s Ladies Sing: The Girls from Stratford-UponAvon” will be performed live on Sunday, Oct. 28, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 general admission. All tickets include a meet-and-greet with Nancy Husby and Jim Buchanan in the lobby after the show. Visit SedonaFilmFestival.org for tickets and performance information or call 282-1177. Both the Sedona International Film Festival Office and the Mary D. Fisher Theatre are located at 2030 W. SR 89A in West Sedona.
