“Barbra and Frank”
The Concert That Never Was

Friday, February 18, 2011 — 7:30 p.m.
Auditorium
Adults $30/Students $15

Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra never shared the stage, but what if they had? Sharon Owens and Sebastian Anzaldo bring their Las Vegas hit show to Spencer for one night only — but what a night it will be! A highlight of the show is a delicate blending of two of their signature songs as Sinatra croons verses from “It Was A Very Good Year” intertwined with Streisand’s memorable “The Way We Were.”
