                                        WHITEHALL---When Kathy Beaver brings her "I'm Flying" cabaret show to 
                                        the Bridge Theater at the Whitehall Armory Saturday, August 11, she 
                                        will have the keyboard accompaniment of Steve Saari (cq) who has worked 
                                        with such varied  stage personalities as Tommy Tune, Vince Gill, Cindy 
                                        Crawford and the Radio City Rockettes.
                                              Saari was musical director and conductor for the Martin Short show, 
                                        "Fame Becomes Me" on Broadway and toured in the same capacity with 
                                         Tommy Tune in "Doctor Doolittle."
                                              When Kathy Beaver decided to continue her musical career as a 
                                          cabaret singer following an accident on stage in "Gypsy" that halted 
                                          her career as a concert and orchestral violinist in New York, she 
                                          worked with Tony Parise while appearing at the Fort Salem Theater to put 
                                          together the cabaret "I'm Flying"  that she is bringing to Whitehall,  
                                          It first played at the Fort Salem Theater and later in New York.
                                              As she has explained in discussing her stage accident: "When you're 
                                           dealt lemons, you make lemonade."
                                               Following the accident, Beaver has supplemented her cabaret 
                                            performances with parttime work as a flight attendant on Jet Blue that 
                                            takes her coast to coast and into the Caribbean several times a month.
                                               Saari,, who is the accompaniest for "I'm Flying" at the Bridge 
                                           Theater in Whitehall, is no stranger to the travel industry himself 
                                            since he serves as vocal director for shows presented on the Royal 
                                            Caribbean cruise ships when not touring with orchestras across America, 
                                            Asia and Europe.  In November each year he serves as vocal director for 
                                            the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
                                                The Julliard School graduate who is a faculty member at the 
                                             Diller-Quiale School of Music, is constantly on the go. Following his 
                                             appearance in Whitehall, he takes off for Rhode Island for an 
                                             appearance the next day.
                                                 Beaver spent a good part of her life with the Fort Salem Theater 
                                              that her father, the late Quentin Beaver, established in the early 
                                              1970s. He died last year. His daughter served as producer and star 
                                               performer for five years at the Washington County theater during her 
                                               father's long illness. Jay Kerr bought the theater six years ago, and has since 
                                               created new musicals and cabaret performances with regional and 
                                               Broadway talent while revamping the venue from its original church 
                                               ambience.


 The Bridge Theater performance begins at 7:30 p.m.
