From Broadway, Best in Show<\/em> and Glee<\/em>, to Long Beach: Jane Lynch is headed to the Richard and Karen Carpenter Performing Arts Center as the headliner for their first-ever President\u2019s Gala on October 3.<\/p>\n

\"03JaneLynch\"According to a release issued Tuesday, Lynch will be performing American standards and show tunes in a show called See Jane Sing <\/em>at the gala, a fundraising event that is the product of a collaboration between California State University, Long Beach and the Carpenter Center. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Carpenter Center\u2019s Arts for Life program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Carpenter Center is renowned as a cultural gateway for the entire Long Beach community and I can\u2019t imagine a better venue for the first-ever President\u2019s Gala,\u201d said President Jane Close Conoley in a statement. \u201cOur university is fortunate to have this amazing performing arts center on our campus. The arts are fundamental to providing a well-rounded educational experience at The Beach, and I\u2019m especially pleased the Gala will support the vibrant Arts for Life program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lynch made her Broadway debut in 2013, and will bring her talents to the stage of the Carpenter Center in the form of \u201cfast-paced, funny songs\u201d she\u2019s chosen to be sung with a live jazz quintet led by Orange County\u2019s 2014 jazz musician of the year Tony Guerrero. Guerrero will be featured on the trumpet.<\/p>\n

Other guests at Lynch\u2019s show include Kate Flannery from The Office, <\/em>as well as Glee<\/em>‘s vocal arranger Tim Davis. Songs featured will range from Fiddler on the Roof<\/em>\u2019s \u201cFar from the Home I Love\u201d to Nicki Minaj\u2019s \u201cAnaconda.\u201d<\/p>\n

VIP ticket holders will be welcomed to an al fresco dinner on the Carpenter Family Terrace and have the chance to meet Lynch and Close Conoley following the performance.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the event start at $75. Gala tickets are all-inclusive and available at the Carpenter Center ticket office for $250.
