GRANTHAM, Pa. (Feb. 10, 2006) –The Messiah College School of the Arts will present “Broadway Cabaret: Makin’ Lemonade,” performed by senior Adam Douglas Brock on March 3 and 4 at 8 p.m. in Poorman Recital Hall, located in the Climenhaga Fine Arts Center, on the college’s Grantham campus. The event is free and open to the public.

Brock uses the adage, “When life throws you lemons, make lemonade,” to create a semi-autobiographical show that follows his journey through high school and college experiences filled with struggles related to love, relationships, rejection and success. “It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, ranging from joy to sadness, from contentment to loneliness,” said Brock. The one-man show is a blend of both musical and cabaret entertainment and captures a range of emotions expressed through well known songs such as, “If I Were a  Rich Man” from “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Man of LaMancha,” “Cabaret” and “Friendship” from “Anything Goes.”

Messiah College, a private Christian college of the liberal and applied arts and sciences, enrolls more than 2,900 undergraduate students in 50 majors. Established in 1909, the primary campus is located in Grantham, Pa., near the state capital of Harrisburg. A satellite campus affiliated with Temple University is located in Philadelphia.
