What to do till then? Next weekend (Oct 12th) the Pittsburgh Savoyards opens it’s production of “Yeomen of the Guard” , the funny and tragic tale of “the Merryman and His Maid” at the Andrew Carnegie Music Hall. I am singing in the ensemble, aka “townsfolk”, in this charming production, joined by many of my Zombie Opera cohorts. (facebook event with cast list)
