Uptown Players kicks off its 2014 season with its annual fundraiser, in which boys sing the girls’ songs and vice versa. And the bench is deep with local talent (including host B.J. Cleveland, pictured with Lon Barrera). It’s also a chance to preview the new season, and hear songs from their upcoming musicals: Pageant and The Boy from Oz.
