Outcast Productions Black Box Theater, Island County Fairgrounds, Langley —
Two Whidbey-based songwriter-musicians premier music production For one night only, Friday, Feb. 1, Outcast Productions will premier a new musical production conceived, written and performed by Whidbey-based musicians Joann Quintana and Jana Szabo.
“City Beat: Night Music” tells the story of nightlife, following two music lovers as they go clubbing in New York City and explore how culture and music rub together. The story was conceived and written by Quintana. Szabo, who has staged musical productions in Seattle and on Whidbey, wanted to create a cabaret show. The two collaborated, taking the show’s name from Szabo’s original song, City Beat.
Quintana is a Whidbey-based singer-songwriter about to release her second studio album of all-original tunes. Her band performs locally and regionally. Szabo is a well-known vocalist, vocal coach, music teacher and band leader who relocated to Whidbey Island from Seattle, where she worked as a jazz vocalist and music teacher.
Only one performance, Friday, Feb. 1, 7:30PM. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased at Brown Paper Tickets at www.brownpapertickets. com/event/4051794 or by emailing Outcast Productions at ocp@whidbey.com to reserve tickets, then pay at the door by cash or check.
