The show will take place on Sunday, April 3 at 1 p.m. at the university's Music Recital Hall, located in the southwest part of campus at 18111 Nordhoff Street in Northridge.

The production will feature Broadway stars Diane Ketchie, who is part of the music department's faculty, and husband Raymond Saar. Both stars have extensive musical theater backgrounds.

The event also will highlight the diverse talents of students within the Northridge departments of music and theater.

"(The show) is good entertainment," said Bernice Haber, event coordinator and chair. "They are good singers. People should come for pure entertainment and to serve a good cause."

Proceeds from ticket sales benefit the university's Arts Council Student Awards Program that grants scholarships to students within the art, music and theater departments.

A music professor since 1999, Ketchie earned a bachelor's degree in voice and piano from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and a master's degree from the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. Ketchie also studied at the Opernschule of the Hochshule fŸr Musik in Germany on scholarship.
