MAY 29

Dueling Pianos at the Lincoln Theatre

The Lincoln Theatre presents Dueling Pianos with Donna Ray and Hunter Dunn at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

In celebration of the Lincoln's centennial, come sing, dance, dress up and laugh along with an interactive musical comedy show unlike any other, according to a news release.

Dueling Pianos is an all-request, high-energy format where performers build the show from song requests in the moment, and so no two are ever quite alike.

Featuring the talents of musical couple Donna Ray and Bill Ray and multi-instrumentalist Hunter Dunn, this is a one-of-a-kind show you won't want to miss.

Ray is a critically acclaimed and classically trained vocalist, with an impressive career spanning 18 years performing in Las Vegas alongside legendary artists such as Aretha Franklin and Liza Minnelli.

She's also taken on roles in musicals such as "Evita" and "Man of La Mancha," and recently served as musical director in a production of "West Side Story."

Dunn is a longtime musician and educator, in high demand as a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist across the Pacific Northwest.

This is a fundraiser event. All proceeds and song request tips will go to the theater's Centennial Capital Campaign. Bring cash for tips, and "Lincoln Bucks" will be available for purchase in the lobby.
