As you know, we love to support local music! The Donald Oat Theater in Norwich is having a very special show — a tribute to the queens of R&B and soul. This night is all about honoring the music and legacy of icons like Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Jill Scott, and Lauryn Hill. beautifully sung by Demetria Young!

From classic soul to feel-good grooves, we’ve put together a show full of songs that raised us, shaped us, and still move us today. And more than anything… they want to share that experience with you.
