By William Shakespeare

"The Two Gentlemen of Verona" is engaging, funny and very endearing. The play is one of Shakespeare’s earliest comedies, and is a heartwarming tale following the fortunes of four lovers, three outlaws, two clowns and a dog.

Saturday, December 5. 2009 at 8 p.m. GUITAR DUO
Frank Vignola and Gene Bertoncini

Gene and Frank return to play together at the Theatre after far too long an absence. Each of them gathers plaudits from the press wherever they travel: Mike Joyce, writing in the Washington Post, about a Blues Alley concert on one of Gene’s “all too infrequent visits to town” noted that he “combined great artistry with good humor, moving from the sublime (pieces by Bach, Chopin, Jobim, Billy Strayhorn, Richard Rodgers and Hoagy Carmichael) to the ridiculous (jokes aplenty) and back again”; “Bertoncini is the ultimate in good taste,” L.A. Jazz Scene; “It seems that only beautiful sounds emanate from Gene Bertoncini’s guitar,” says The New Yorker. Of Frank Vignola, The New York Times said “[he] is one of the brightest of the young guitar stars”; a review in The Boston Globe commented, “How versatile is Frank Vignola? He’s collaborated with Lionel Hampton and Madonna, covers Mozart and Black Sabbath on the same record and is one of Les Paul’s favorite guitarists.”
