The City Repertory Theatre’s 50-seat venue provides an intimate experience to enjoy theater. Now the theatre, located at 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite B207, in Palm Coast, will offer that same experience for concerts, allowing the audience to get to know the artists who work in the theater and community.
The first concert will be an Evening with Laniece Fagundes at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18. Fagundes has been a member of CRT since its first season. Along with CRT Music Director Benjamin Beck and drummer Denise Elisha, Fagundes will sing Broadway and popular favorites as well as original music in a concert that will show how her theater experience has influenced her as a performer and a composer.
Fagundes, who also performs as Laniece Rose, writes and records her own songs and is preparing to release a new album with her band, “The Wildflowers.”
Songs from the album will be featured during the concert. Her performances at CRT have included playing Judas in this season’s Jesus Christ Superstar, as well as Billie Holiday in Lady Day at the Emerson Bar and Grill, Hope in Urinetown and a host of others. Outside of the theater, Fagundes privately coaches voice and piano students at her company, Created Sound.
She said she is excited to be performing with some of her favorite collaborators. Beck is a local music director, collaborative pianist and performer. Featured on stages throughout Florida, his role as a music director at several Florida theaters includes credits such as Aida; Children of Eden at Jacksonville University; Little Women at Limelight Theatre; Honky Tonk Angels; Songs for a New World; John and Jen; and Next to Normal at City Repertory Theatre. Drummer Denise Elisha has been playing for more than 20 years and teaches drums, piano and guitar at Created Sound.
CRT’s “Evening with . . .” concert series will continue on Feb. 7 and April 11, 2025. Artists for those evenings will be announced closer to the concert dates. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for students. They are available at crtpalmcost.com or call 386-585-9415.
