“THE NIGHT THAT NEVER WAS!” – Stories & Songs – Starring Barb Bailey (& SECRET guests)
Let’s pretend we are at a FANTASY BALL! There’s madness in the air!
A night of FANTASY
And MUSIC
and Wild IMAGINATION!!!
Where DREAMS become Reality.
Where SONGS conjure up the Fantastical.
And STORIES beg the question, “Did THAT really just happen?
Or have I slipped into another dimension?”
SURPRISE guests will Amaze!
Audience members end up on Stage!
“THE NIGHT THAT NEVER WAS!” will intoxicate the senses!
Invoke STORIES that are usually kept HUSH HUSH!
And spawn SONGS only worthy of a whimsical FANTASY BALL!
Barb, herself, started her life in an extraordinary way.
She was an abandoned baby found in a cardboard box when she was one week old. Her birth mother never came back to claim her. Barb says, “it doesn’t matter how we start out in life. What matters is what we do with it.” Her life has transcended from a CARDBOARD BOX to the BOX OFFICE. Forever grateful she “pays it forward” through her music and her shows.
NO DRINK MINIMUM! FREE PARKING! Seating is on a first come, first served basis.
