The Community House

Tickets On Sale Now! Join us for our annual summer Soiree! The Boomer Babes are high-octane, hilariously irreverent musical entertainers who celebrate and lovingly skewer the Baby Boomer experience with zany wit, powerhouse harmonies, and spot-on song parodies. Vocal dynamo duo Pam Peterson and Jan Slavin don’t just sing — they schmooze, strut, and theatricalize life’s joys and absurdities from the ‘50s to the present with gut-busting humor and warm affection for their generation. From Beatles spoof medleys and plastic-surgery pleas set to “Mr. Sandman” to cleverly crafted political spoofs and aging-with-attitude parodies, the Boomer Babes bring both a sharp comic edge and true vocal prowess to their performances. One critic raves that Still Rockin’ balances the laughs with heart, celebrating friendship and life with toe-tapping musicality and love.
Fee Includes: Entry, Refreshments &amp; Buffet Lunch to be served at 11:30AM.
