Laughter really is the best medicine…
February 9, 8pm
Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood of Whose Line is it Anyway
Tarrytown Music Hall (Tarrytown, NY)
If you’ve ever seen an episode of Whose Line is it Anyway, you know who Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood are. If you haven’t, you have no idea what you’re missing. Quick-witted, intelligent and talented, these two men are considered tops when it comes to improvisational comedy. This weekend the two will take the stage at Tarrytown Music Hall in what promises to be a hilarious evening. The show, made up entirely on the spot, relies heavily on audience participation; sometimes by shouting out suggestions and or by joining the comedians on stage. Whatever role you play, you’re sure to have a night of side-splitting humor.

Get jazzed with PJS Jazz Society…
Sunday February 10, 5:15pm
Saxophonist Joe Lovano performs with PJS Jazz Society
First Presbyterian Church (Mount Vernon, NY)
Joe Lovano picked up a saxophone at five years old – and began a love affair that would last his entire life. The Grammy-winning musician has enjoyed a career that has spanned the world for over 40 years – He’s recorded with such jazz greats as Herbie Hancock, Carla Bley and Dave Brubeck. This month, before heading to Lincoln Center, Lovano will entertain Westchester jazz-lovers in a more intimate cabaret setting for PJS Jazz Society in Mount Vernon. This is a perfect opportunity to enjoy a glass of wine, tune out the busy chaos of everyday life and hear a truly dynamic, gifted performer.

A Roman Holiday right here in Westchester…
February 14, 7:30pm
Roman Holiday
Jacob Burns Film Center (Pleasantville, NY)
Champagne and the city of love… What could be a better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day? This year, the Jacob Burns Film Center will appeal to sweethearts and movie-lovers alike with a one-time screening of Roman Holiday, the classic romantic comedy starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. With performances that are as magical as the scenery (the film was shot on location), this is a film that was meant to be viewed on the “big screen.” But, best of all, the cozy theater provides an intimate experience that includes cappuccino, local bakery items and, for this showing only, a complimentary glass of champagne for each ticket holder.
