The Mandell JCC rolls out the red carpet for a “star-studded” evening with Hollywood in Hartford, Saturday, Feb. 28, at 7 p.m. in the Herbert Gilman Theater, Mandell JCC, Zachs Campus, 335 Bloomfield Ave., West Hartford, CT. Hollywood in Hartford is a part of the Mandell JCC’s year-long Centennial Celebration.

The night warms up with cocktails and small plates from 7 to 8 p.m. then from 8 to 9:30 p.m. those in attendance will enjoy a classic cabaret show with a mixture of live vocals, celebrity impersonation and comedic performances starring Joe Posa and Scott Townsend. The evening closes with dessert in the Chase Family Gallery.

Steve Desroches, applauds the show in a review for Provincetown Magazine stating, “Posa excels at capturing the essence of each performer he portrays, in particular his Barbra Streisand, with each tilted-head high note, every sweep of the hair to the side, and holding the microphone to show off the manicure. It’s pitch perfect.”

The show is for adults 21 years or older. Tickets are $50 per person. To reserve tickets, contact the Mandell JCC Box Office at860-231-6316 or visit www.mandelljcc.org.
