When Mickey and Judy said, “Let’s put on a show,” they promptly did so with terrific songs, dazzling dance numbers and amazing costumes.  The men in The Full Monty do the same thing - just without the costumes.  They sing and they dance, but when it comes to wardrobe, this is a production where less is more.  It’s all terrific fun when a group of unemployed steel workers get together to create greatest male strip revue ever to come out of Buffalo.

Yossi Govrin has assembled the work of five exciting artists each of whom has created a new work for this exhibition based on what is happening in their world, their art, and the art world right Now. 

Eric Bibb is undoubtedly one of the greatest acoustic blues men working.  When you put his fantastic voice together with his crisp, emotive guitar picking you’ve got all anyone could hope for in contemporary blues.  Bibb has an amazing musical heritage to carry on – not only was his father a Broadway star, his godfather was Paul Robeson - and he does it extremely well!  Buy your tickets here.
