============================
CABARET STAR JINI SCOVILLE
Jini has sung her way around the world—literally—as a lead vocalist on international cruise lines and as the ‘Queen of the Blues’ in Tokyo DisneySea’s Big Band Beat. She’s performed everywhere from ABBA tribute tours to world premiere musicals in Los Angeles and throughout the Southwest. Jini draws influences from some of her favorite artists, including Judi Garland, Barbra Streisand, Peggy Lee, Eydie Gormé, Rosemary Clooney, Dolly Parton, Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, and more! Jini can often be found belting out showtunes with her dad on piano--or singing a classic jazz duet with her husband accompanying her on guitar. She loves connecting with audiences through song, and hopes to take them on a musical journey with every show.

MY DASH - a World Premiere Musical Journey
by Jon Peterson and John Rinaldi
starring Jon Peterson
'My Dash' follows one man as he navigates the winding, unpredictable arc of his own life. Performed entirely by one actor, the show blends storytelling, song, and character work to explore the pivotal moments that shape a person—childhood dreams, awkward first loves, unexpected failures, and the quiet triumphs that go unnoticed.
Through a series of musical vignettes, the Jon moves from youthful optimism to self-doubt, from heartbreak to renewal, and ultimately toward a deeper understanding of who he is and what truly matters. Along the way, he inhabits the voices of people who impacted him—teachers, lovers, rivals, and the echoes of his younger selves—each brought to life through songs traditionally delivered by the Broadway Diva.
The show leads to a powerful final revelation: that the trials and tribulations he once saw as obstacles were, in truth, the stepping stones that shaped his resilience, compassion, and sense of purpose. The Man I’ve Been is a raw, humorous, and deeply human musical about growing up, starting over, and learning to forgive the person in the mirror.
