A Motown Christmas at The Sherman

The Sherman Theatre* in Stroudsburg, PA hosted The Pocono Music Productions presentation of a Motown Christmas Spectacular featuring Lady “A” and Destiny on Friday December 7th. Their performance was preceded by performance artist Donna Maxon (www.Donnamaxon.com) whose impersonation of Bette Midler astounded many. Brice of Pocono Music Productions also performed to add warmth to the evening. The snowy conditions made for a small crowd, but the music brought a warmth for those who traversed the wintry roads to reach their destination which housed the sounds of Motown. Proceeds from the show went to benefit Supporting Autism and Families Everywhere (S.A.F.E.) (www.autismsafe.org). Richard Berkowitz*, Theresa Woehrel*, and Bill Kelly* (all of the Sherman) were there along with Arline M. Smeltz* and Lori Williams*. The next show at The Sherman Theatre* will the first of their Independent Rock Series featuring many local bands on Saturday December 8th.
