Opportunes: The Opportunes will "Let the Music Play" while they sing at three Sandal's couples resorts in Jamaica. In exchange for their energetic performances, Sandal's lets the Opportunes party, sun and drink at these all-inclusive resorts. As part of a special, once-a-year treat, John Kearney, an a cappella enthusiast who heard the Opportunes sing at Sandal's eight years ago, will invite them to his plush estate for gourmet food galore...

Band in Berlin, co-directed by Susan Feldman (who wrote the book) and Patricia Birch, wants you to sing and think as you leave the theater. A slide show with music, it mixes reminiscences of the last living Harmonist, Roman Cycowski (Herbert Rubens), with photos--flashed on screens behind the singers--of Hitler and some of the brilliant artists whose lives he disrupted.
