For this new one-man show, "Perfectly Imperfect", Doug has compiled a roster of song selections from Broadway, The Great American Songbook, and Popular music that he feels describe himself, but most likely the audience will see a little of themselves in more than a few. Musical director Joel Baker will accompany Doug on piano for the show and it is presented as part of the Les Michaels Sundays In Summer Cabaret Concert Series. Tickets are $10.
