The Bridge Initiative presents "Unstandard: Songs in the Key of She" a Bridge Cabaret PLUS on Monday, October 6



Bridge Cabaret PLUS at ASU Kerr 

October 6 @ 7:30pm 

SHOW TITLE: Unstandard: Songs in the Key of She

ARTIST: Felicia Penza with Cory Dugar

Co-presented by The Bridge Initiative and ASU Kerr


A genre-bending cabaret built from deep cuts, unsung verses, and the kind of songs you stumble on when your heart needs saving. Unstandard isn’t a tribute—it’s a mixtape of memory, longing, and reinvention, told through the soulful edges of artists like Jill Scott, Amy Winehouse, Bonnie Raitt, Bob Marley, and Cécile McLorin Salvant.

Singer Felicia Penza with Pianist Cory Dugar takes the audience through 10 musical movements—charting a course from infatuation to unraveling to epiphany—with storytelling, humor, and R&B/jazz-infused reinterpretation. From the B-sides of breakups to the grooves that kept her grounded, she reclaims each track as a personal act of reflection, healing, and self-love.

Whether you know the songs or not, you’ll feel the through-line:

a woman unspooling her story—on her own terms, in her own key.

And… you have a chance to perform! Before each musical cabaret, bring your sheet music to sing during the 7 p.m. preshow. Please come early and sign up – first come, first served! Doors open at 6:45pm.
