Vocalist Debby Lennon and Director Pam Hunt are back together for an encore production of Joanna Murray-Smith's "Songs for Nobodies." This one-woman powerhouse performance weaves the music of legendary divas Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf, and Maria Callas throughout a mosaic of stories told by the everyday women who had unexpected life-changing encounters with these musical icons.
