REDDING One of the best soul and funk bands in the history of music, Average White Band, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30 at the Cascade Theatre for a fun evening of entertainment. Average White Band is anything but average. Re- nowned for the hits "Pick Up The Pieces" and "Cut The Cake," Average White Band is regarded as one of the best soul and funk bands, performing sold- out shows around the world for the last 30 years. While their roots are Scottish, they perform infectiously danceable funky soul based on the sounds of Memphis, Motown and Philadelphia and were the first white as well as the first foreign band to find acceptance on the U.S. R&B and Soul charts.

By Mark Kennedy The Associated Press NEW YORK It happened — as good ideas often do — over a round of cocktails. Roberta Pereira and Brisa Trinchero, two ris- ing Broadway producers, had just met and hit it off, bonding over their mu- tual love of the stage and books. Over cosmos one night, Trinchero bemoaned the lack of fun, behind-the- scenes novels about their own industry. "I was about to head out on a vacation and I was saying, 'Why isn't there "The Devil Wears Prada" for theater?'" she said. A lightbulb went on over Pereira's head. "I was like, 'Why don't we do that?'" she recalled. "As a producer, I was like, 'Oh, it doesn't exist? We can make it happen.'" And that's how Dress Circle Publishing was born. One of only a few book lines specifically dedicated to theater, it publishes fiction and non- fiction, often intriguing stories about what hap- pens backstage and off- stage. "Our whole goal is to provide access behind the curtain," said Trinchero. "We're putting things out into the world that we would have wanted to have read from afar so you can feel like an insider even if you're not." DRAMA A pair of theater producers back a line of theater books KRISTIN GOEHRING — ASSOCIATED PRESS Brisa Trinchero, le , and Roberta Pereira appear at a Dress Circle Publishing event in New York. Dress Circle has put out a trilogy of novels about a young female Broadway producer, as well as collections of stories by Broadway insiders Seth Rudetsky and Jennifer Ashley Tepper.
