SUMMARY:Unstandard: Songs in the Key of She with Felicia Penza
DESCRIPTION:A genre-bending cabaret built from deep cuts\, unsung verses\, and the kind of songs you stumble on when your heart needs saving. Unstandard isn’t a tribute—it’s a mixtape of memory\, longing\, and reinvention\, told through the soulful edges of artists like Jill Scott\, Amy Winehouse\, Bonnie Raitt\, Bob Marley\, and Cécile McLorin Salvant. \nSinger Felicia Penza with Pianist Cory Dugar takes the audience through 10 musical movements—charting a course from infatuation to unraveling to epiphany—with storytelling\, humor\, and R&B/jazz-infused reinterpretation. From the B-sides of breakups to the grooves that kept her grounded\, she reclaims each track as a personal act of reflection\, healing\, and self-love. \nWhether you know the songs or not\, you’ll feel the through-line: \na woman unspooling her story—on her own terms\, in her own key. \nAnd… you have a chance to perform! Before each musical cabaret\, bring your sheet music to sing during the 7 p.m. preshow. Please come early and sign up – first come\, first served! Doors open at 6:45pm.\n \nCo-produced by The Bridge Initiative and ASU Kerr \n**Listed ticket prices include fees which are lower if purchased through the box office. Student / Senior / Artist / Educator rate $18-25 ONLY available through ASU Kerr box office\, 6110 N. Scottsdale Rd. / 480–596–2660. ALL PROGRAMMING SUBJECT TO CHANGE.** \n**This project is funded in part by a grant from Scottsdale Arts with funding provided by the City of Scottsdale.**
