Proceeds of the event will help endow a new Cayuga Community College scholarship in memory of Thommie Walsh. Both performances will be introduced by Walsh's cousin, John Walsh, a fellow Auburnian and the creator and host of the Fox Television Network series America's Most Wanted.
Produced by Auburn Public Theater in association with Barbara Walsh, Cayuga Community College Foundation, Stardust Foundation of Central New York, M&T Bank and Cayuga Community College Student Activities Board. This will be the first production produced by Auburn Public Theater outside of their own venue.
About Tommy Tune
His six-foot-seven-inch frame looks like it's designed more for basketball than Broadway. But the Texas-born phenom danced his way to fame - and nine Tony Awards - on the Great White Way, adding his unique magic to America's love affair with the musical. In five decades as a dancer, actor, singer, choreographer and director, Tune has starred on stage, film, record albums, even the EFX mega-spectacular that headlined at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In 2003, President George W. Bush awarded Tune the National Medal of Arts, the highest honor conferred on an individual artist on behalf of the American people. Distilling the highlights of his world-class career into a memorable evening on stage, Tune has created Steps in Time: A Broadway Biography in Song and Dance. Since opening in 2008, the show has won critical acclaim across the United States.
