An entertaining and eclectic evening that's part cabaret, part coffee-house, part craziness. Rick Miller, star of the BOOM Trilogy sang songs from his 25-year career as a writer and performer, drawing from musicals (Grease, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita) to songs from his award-winning solo shows. This was an exclusive fundraising event, which was offered first to donors and sponsors.
