Singer Michael McDonald to Headline Benefit the Bard Fundraiser
The Alabama Shakespeare Festival welcomes five-time Grammy Award winner Michael McDonald to headline the 3rd annual Benefit the Bard fundraiser.
McDonald was part of legendary rock bands the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan. Smokey Robinson and Michael Bolton headlined the fundraiser in the past, which raises money for the theaters cultural and educational efforts. ASF officials say they’re looking forward to what this year’s fundraising can do in the future.
“He helps us to build awareness for the Alabama Shakespeare Festival because he is such a big name,” says Laurie Weil, Chairman of the ASF Board of Directors.
