Drew Angus

Drew Angus has never been early to anything. So naturally, his first holiday tradition is just getting started.

The Black Rock singer-songwriter returns to FTC on Wednesday, December 2 for The First Annual Drew Angus Holiday Sing-Along, celebrating the release of his new holiday album, A Very Drew Angus Christmas. The record pairs four timeless classics with four new originals, including the single “Coming Home for Christmas” – songs built to be sung together, which is exactly the plan.

Angus earned his stripes in hundreds of tristate bar gigs before taking his voice to some of the world’s biggest stages: a top-75 finish on American Idol, the national anthem at Citi Field, opening for Mumford & Sons, and harmonies behind Andrea Bocelli, Harry Styles, and Nile Rodgers. His duet with Marc Broussard on “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” has passed 6 million views on YouTube. In March he released his debut album, Late to the Party.

This December, he’s bringing the party home. Backed by local players and a lineup of special guests, the night promises old favorites, future Christmas classics, and a whole room singing along. Bring your voice. Bring your people. Start a tradition with us.

9 to 5 Jr.: The Musical

With music and lyrics by the legendary Dolly Parton, 9 to 5 JR is adapted from the Broadway musical based on the seminal 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and empowerment in the Rolodex era still speaks to today. Coworkers Violet, Judy, and Doralee are as different as could be, but they have one thing in common: their bully of a boss, Mr. Hart, makes their lives miserable. Together, they concoct a plan to liberate their office from his reign and learn there is nothing they can’t do, even in a man’s world.9 to 5 JR is hilarious, outrageous, big-hearted, and even a little romantic.

Stand up for what’s right and Shine Like the Sun!!

Robert Anthony Jones

By popular demand, FTC welcomes Robert Anthony Jones back to StageOne with his acclaimed cabaret show, Just Call Me RAJ – The Ego Has Landed. Back.

He also appeared in the original Off-Broadway casts and cast recordings of The Prince and the Pauper at the historic Lamb’s Theatre and Bunnicula at the Daryl Roth Theatre.

Randye Kaye

A comedic journey through the ever-changing rules of being a womanBe a good girl. Burn your bra.

Have it all. Stay thin.

Age gracefully.

Find your feminine energy.

Wait… what IS feminine energy, anyway?In this funny, heartfelt solo show,

Randye Kaye looks back on decades of ever-changing—and often contradictory—instructions on how to be a woman. Through personal stories, sharp observations, and theatrical humor, she explores the roles we’ve played, the expectations we’ve chased, and the absurdity of trying to get womanhood “right.” Come laugh, cringe, and recognize yourself along the way. Because maybe the secret isn’t becoming the perfect woman. Maybe it’s learning to love the gloriously imperfect one you already are.

Church of Cash

Celebrating the Sound & Soul of the Man in Black

Church of Cash celebrates the sound and soul of the Man in Black — not just playing Johnny Cash’s music, but living it. Led by singer Jay Ernest, whose deep, resonant vocals capture Cash’s unmistakable timbre, the band delivers a powerful, heartfelt tribute that transcends imitation.

With over 1,000 performances across the U.S. and Europe, Church of Cash has become one of the most celebrated Cash tributes in the world — earning two Midwest CMO “Best Tribute Act” Awards and a 2021 induction into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame. Their shows combine impeccable musicianship, compelling storytelling, and a spirit of redemption and resilience that defined Cash’s legacy.

From the grit of I Walk the Line to the fire of Ring of Fire and the soul of Folsom Prison Blues, Church of Cash brings each song to life with reverence and raw energy.

Whether you grew up on Cash’s music or you’re discovering it for the first time, this is more than a concert — it’s a celebration of the sound that still shakes souls around the world.

What the critics say: “If there is anyone truer to the music and spirit of Johnny Cash, you’d have to prove it to me.” — Honolulu Weekly

Their collective résumé also includes performances in multiple Broadway productionssuch as Hair, Fame, Tommy and Rent.

Kid Charlemagne approaches the music of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker with deep respect and meticulous attention to detail—honoring the original arrangements while delivering the energy and musicality of a world-class live band. From jazz-inflected harmonies to deep pocket grooves, Kid Charlemagne captures the sound, spirit, and swagger that made Steely Dan iconic.
