A MESSAGE FROM GALLO CENTER FOR THE ARTS PREMIER PARTNER

DOCTORS MEDICAL CENTER

CARING FOR OUR COMMUNITY & SUPPORTING THE ARTS

Jay Krishnaswamy Chief Executive Officer, Doctors Medical Center

At Doctors Medical Center, we are committed to the people and communities we serve. As the Premier Partner of the Gallo Center, we understand that community goes far beyond our hospital walls and that health is more than just healthcare. Art is good for the body and mind, and that is why we are proud to support it and those that bring it to our community.

Our partnership with the Gallo Center is truly valued. The venue is a community asset for the region, setting standards for the arts, education, cultural enrichment and entertainment, and that is something we are proud to stand behind.

As the recently appointed CEO of Doctors Medical Center, it has been my privilege to rejoin the team and to serve the Central Valley community. I am proud to partner with our physicians, colleagues and community leaders to continue to enhance the legacy of excellent care we have provided to our community for more than 60 years.

Vulgar, egotistic junkman Harry Brock has come to a swanky hotel in Washington to make crooked deals with government big-wigs. Accompanying him is the charming but dumb ex-chorus girl Billie, whose lack of social graces embarrasses even Harry. Harry hires young, idealistic reporter Paul Verrall to educate Billie and make her more presentable. Romance ensues, as does Billie’s realization that Harry is a crook who has made her a tool in his schemes to defraud the public. This comedy-drama became a celebrated film starring Judy Holliday and William Holden.

FRIDAY & SATURDAY, AUGUST 11 & 12, 2023, 7:30PM

TICKETS: $89/109/129/149

PRESENTED BY:

[Editor’s Note: This performance originally was announced for April 6, 2023. Due to a conflict in Mr. Robinson’s schedule, the show was postponed until August 11, and because of demand, a second show was added on August 12.]

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Smokey Robinson’s career spans over four decades of hits. Born and raised in Detroit, Robinson founded The Miracles while still in high school and inspired Berry Gordy to found the Motown Record dynasty. Their single of Robinson’s “Shop Around” became Motown’s first #1 hit on the R&B singles chart. In the years following, Robinson continued to pen hits for the group, including “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me,” “Ooo Baby Baby,” “The Tracks of My Tears,” “Going to a Go-Go,” “More Love,” “Tears of a Clown” (co-written with Stevie Wonder), and “I Second That Emotion.” You’ll want to be here for Smokey’s first appearance at the Center since 2012.
