August 2nd, 2017 Press Release!

Chester Merchants Press Release Greetings! If you missed the opening of Malcolm Callaway's show at Amicus Gallery there is still time to view these works. Sadly, you missed the wine and cheese, but hey, there's always next week. We're counting down to Race Week. Two weeks to go ! This Week in Chester  Tonight, Wednesday, the Chester Playhouse presents  "I'm Your Man - The Songs of Leonard Cohen" starring Cliff Le Jeune, joined by Lisa St. Clair and the Blue Engine String Quartet. This production showcases Le Jeune's journey with the darkly beautiful songbook of Leonard Cohen. Currently the executive director of Dance Nova Scotia, Le Jeune says nothing has matched the intensity and satisfaction of singing Cohen's songs and that he is humbled by the extraordinary reverence audiences have for Cohen's work. Cliff's interpretations are driven by his passion and deep understanding of this lush material. The show opens at 8 pm and runs until Saturday August 12th.
