June 28: 'SIMPLY BARBRA" with STEVEN BRINBERG. Impersonation is a tricky animal. Steve Brinberg's "Simply Barbra" starts out smart. The piano overture, the darkened empty stage, and then the voice. It's Barbra alright - the intonation, the inflection, the purity. And she makes her entrance - yup, the look is right as well. Any chance the show may take itself too seriously is quickly alleviated with a simply hand gesture to move the hair from her face - the audience howls and we know we're in for a send up. But it's the voice that blows you away. A two-time Mac and Bistro award winner, Brinberg has the voice down pat. Fee charged. 8 pm. Roxbury Arts group, PO Box 93, Vega Mtn.
