An exciting, fun-filled, inspirational evening—with dance, music, a touch of the Great White Way, prizes and more— comes to Stamford on August 26. The Unity Center of Norwalk is presenting reality TV star and celebrity event planner David Tutera’s Dream Bigger Tour at The Palace Theatre for the Performing Arts for one performance only at 8pm.

Broadway singing star Norm Lewis will be Tutera’s special guest. Tutera, star of WE tv’s CELEBrations, describes the event as a festive hybrid of talk show and live theater.

“Dream Bigger is a truly interactive and entertaining experience,” Tutera said. “I am thrilled Norm Lewis will open the show with a wonderful new Dream Bigger song composed by David Friedman.”

Lewis, nominated for a Tony Award for best actor in a musical (Porgy & Bess), made show business history by being the first African American to play the title role in The Phantom of the Opera. In the television drama Scandal, Lewis has a recurring role as Senator Edison.

Friedman, a popular film and theatre composer, songwriter and conductor, has made his mark with multi-platinum recordings, Broadway shows, Disney animated films and television scores.

General admission is $30. Limited VIP tickets are $100 and include premium seating and a post-show back stage reception with Tutera. The event is sponsored by Platinum sponsors, including The Water’s Edge at Giovanni’s, The Delmar Greenwich Harbor and The Spa at the Delmar Greenwich Harbor.

The Unity Center in Norwalk is a spiritually-based community founded and based on a concept of always pointing the way toward a more positive way of living.
