An Ear-Splittingly Funny Look at "The Worst Singer of All Time" on Stage at BIG ARTS on March 9

Feb. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Souvenir —A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins will be performed at BIG ARTS Wednesday, March 9, at 8 p.m. BIG ARTS Schein Performance Hall is located at 900 Dunlop Road, Sanibel. Tickets are general admission $36, student $15.

Souvenir is a heartfelt comedy about the celebrated Ms. Jenkins, a New York socialite who made a name for herself in the 1930s and ’40s with a deep-seated belief in her own singing talent. If you’ve actually heard her sing, however (she is on iTunes and YouTube), you’ll quickly realize that Jenkins lacked any semblance of musical talent. Her terrible voice did not stop her from filling Carnegie Hall. Stephen Temperley’s very funny and uplifting love-letter of a play was a recent smash hit on Broadway and at regional theaters across the country.
