Freeman to perform at North Shore Senior Center

Updated: July 23, 2012 6:55AM

Join North Shore Senior Center for a trip down memory lane when the talented singer Laura Freeman showcases the music that was popular during World War II. Songs like “Accentuate the Positive,” and “God Bless America” played a big part in keeping up morale on the home front — while sending a supportive message to our soldiers overseas.

Laura’s “For the Boys” Cabaret Performance takes place at the Arthur C. Nielsen, Jr. Campus in Northfield on Wednesday, June 27, at 1 p.m. Registration fee is $10 for members and $12 for non-members. Call 847.784.6030 for more information or to register.

Laura Freeman has been delighting audiences, around the country and abroad, for more than 20 years. Known for her wit and warmth, Freeman finds the heart and soul in her material, whether it’s a song from musical theater, the Great American Songbook, or a beloved jazz standard. As background music for an evening of dining or providing the night’s main attraction, Laura can work the room with her trademark charm.

Laura attended Indiana University at South Bend, studying with Warren Pepperdine, Jeffrey Kope and Jo Pierce. During summer breaks, Laura appeared at various theatres around Indiana including Wagon Wheel Playhouse, Enchanted Hills Playhouse, and The Round Barn Theatre at Amish Acres. Laura grew up at these theatres, making important connections and increasing her resume.
