AFTER THE SHOWCASE

Well, incase you weren't there, you missed a great show. The "Sophisticated Ladies Talent Showcase" was Wednesday Dec 16th. The 3 female singers were really on the money. Rae Escobar did her famous rendition of the Righteous Brothers song Unchained Melody and ended her segment of the show with Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Vanessa Phillips opened the show with What's Up and did a very dramatic version of Rhianna's Pull the Trigger. And Alina Zayas wowed us with Chain of Fools and Journeys' Faithfully. TJ Entertainment Productions would like to thank all three ladies for their enthusiastic participation.

Our next showcase will be on Wednesday January 13, 2010 at 7:30pm. We will be featuring an Opera singer at this showcase. We are actually having two showcases during the month of January. Our second one will be on Wednesday Jan 27, 2010 at 7:30pm.

On a heavier note, we have had a drop in attendance. We are not sure why. Maybe it's the fact that wednesday is a hard night to get out. We don't know why, but we would like to know why so we can bring back our wonderful customers. If you have any idea, please email us at info@tjentertainmentproductions.com. We would appreciate any feedback from you. Thank you.
