Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites... 11/13/2026

"I've had a lot of fun doing it," laughed entertainment icon Vicki Lawrence as she discussed her November 13 and 14 appearances at the George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick. "Vicki Lawrence & Mama: A Two Woman Show," it's not a play, basically it's a one woman show but I knew that Mama had to be in it so I thought it'd be funny to name it a two woman show because people think of her as a real person and I often feel I could fall off the face of the earth and as long as she was around everything would be just fine (Laughs)."




Makin Waves Song of the Week: "Josephine" by Emily Grove
