From Hell's Kitchen to the District: 25 Years of Friendship & Music

Spooky Action Theater
1810 16th St NW Washington

When you find the people who make your heart sing and your soul stir, you hold on to them. Join us for an extraordinary musical evening celebrating an extraordinary friendship. Award-winning composer and actor Michael Pemberton, who authored Professor Woland's Black Magic Rock Show, started writing and playing music as a teenager. Three-time Helen Hayes Award winner and local treasure Natascia Diaz fell in love with his songs doing the Sondheim musical Saturday Night with him at Second Stage, and moved on to perform them at Joe's Pub, the Zipper, and Signature Theatre. For two nights only, these friends and collaborators of 25 years will meet to perform Natascia's favorites from Michael's prolific body of work spanning rock, folk, and musical theater in From Hell's Kitchen to the District: 25 Years of Friendship & Music.
