Desert Local Ron Cohn in I'm Too Old To Die Young at Arthur Newman Theatre
Ron Cohn is a man with many hats; attorney, director, teacher, manager, publicist, and producer with an impressive list of credits as an acting and performance coach as well. This time around, Ron will focus on another facet of his many talents: singing - with one performance only on Saturday, October 16th at Arthur Newman Theatre in The Joslyn Center Theater in Palm Desert.
In "I'm Too Old To Die Young", Mr. Cohn relives the days when New York cabaret rooms were filled with the songs and humor of Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Noel Coward and Rogers and Hart. Audiences heard funny specialty material written by the many greats of the day and sung on the Borscht Belt and in Vaudeville. Ron will bring all this music together in one fun, song-filled show of which a reviewer in Cabaret Scenes said that "he is a grand interpreter clearly having a great time on stage… his performance is one of the more engaging this year… a knowledgeable song picker giving the show variety and heart."
Some of the many cabaret greats Ron Cohn has directed and managed over the years have included; Julie Wilson, Jane A. Johnston, Baby Jane Dexter, Joan Curto, Joanne Tatham, Pam Munter, plus over 60 plays and musical reviews. Ron is a director of the Mabel Mercer Foundation, assisting Donald Smith with the Foundation's Cabaret Convention for many years. His contributions of talent to charities and benefits have been well recognized by many in addition to his seven years as a master teacher at the O'Neill Cabaret Symposium and four years at The Singers Forum in NYC.
Local Musical Director Denis Moreen, who is quite active in local musical groups and chorus, will accompany Ron on the piano for this show. Show time on Saturday, Oct. 16th is 7 PM with doors opening at 6 PM. Tickets are $10 cash at the door. Reserved seats may also be made by calling 760-325-2731.
