"Songwriters take on the Great American Songbook" was conceived from an idea by Robert C Fullerton to create a venue for the great American classics (Ellington, Gershwin, Porter, and the like) and mix them through the voice and styling of contemporary songwriters. These performances not only bring the audience a renewed appreciation of the American Songbook -- but also introduce them to some of the best local talent.

"Songwriters take on the Great American Songbook!" is one in a series of events that we are calling "Theatre Club Thursdays". Most of these Thursday night events will be community based and a donation will be suggested. The DTC is looking to bring the community and arts together. The rules for each gig are simple. We search and find some of the best singer/songwriters that CT (and beyond) have to offer. Each artist will then perform 3 songs from the Great American Songbook (Ellington, Gershwin, Porter, and the like), and 2 originals all while telling a few stories in between to wrap it all together.
