Celebrate the joy, heart, and unmistakable Broadway sparkle of Jerry Herman with American Songbook Today, Ventura’s own charitable 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to keeping the Great American Songbook alive and singing.

This special tribute concert honors one of Broadway’s most beloved composer-lyricists, whose music helped define the golden glow of the American musical. From the show-stopping optimism of Hello, Dolly! to the irresistible spirit of Mame, the bold humanity of La Cage aux Folles, and the lush theatrical sweep of Mack and Mabel, Jerry Herman gave audiences melodies with lift, lyrics with heart, and characters who refused to dim their own light.
