CAMP Rehoboth Chorus Ensemble concert slated Sept. 27-28

The CAMP Rehoboth Chorus Ensemble will present its debut concert Bad Boys/Bad Girls at 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday, Sept. 28 and 28, at the Unitarian Universalists of Southern Delaware church, 30486 Lewes-Georgetown Highway (Route 9), Lewes.

This naughty, titillating evening will include songs about sin: murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery – all viewed through the lens of humor. The show will appeal to every musical taste, from the down-home basics of country to the glitter of Broadway, from Dolly Parton to Donna Summer, from blockbuster shows like “Chicago” to “Little Shop of Horrors” to “Cabaret.” Choristers will belt out songs like Cher’s “Dark Lady,” ABBA’s “Money, Money, Money,” plus favorites “Mack the Knife,” “Friends in Low Places,” “Mama’s Broken Heart” and much more.

“This concert, a first for the ensemble, was triggered by some brainstorming last year. I found the concept of acknowledging the dark side of our nature very enticing; it allows us to sing music we’d ordinarily never think of doing,” said Doug Yetter, musical and artistic director for the CAMP Rehoboth Chorus.

The chorus is a 90-member community choral group that reflects CAMP Rehoboth’s vision to Create A More Positive Rehoboth by reaching out to diverse audiences and bringing the community together through the power of song. The chorus was formed in 2009.

The ensemble was created in 2014 and consists of 27 singers who perform free outreach concerts year-round before smaller community groups.

For the Bad Boys/Bad Girls concert, Doug Yetter will be assisted by Barry Bugg and Larry Rosen for “choralography,” costuming and technical support.

Tickets are $20. For more information and to purchase tickets, go to www.camprehoboth.com or call 302-227-5620.
