Tony Award winner Faith Prince, a celebrated icon of the Broadway stage who has starred in recent hits such as "Noises Off," "Guys and Dolls," "Bells are Ringing," "The King and I," and "Little Shop of Horrors," will perform at the UNLV Performing Arts Center at 8 p.m. on Friday, October 10 as part of the Best of the New York Stage series.
As part of her repertoire, Prince is scheduled to perform hits from her recent cabaret show, "A Leap of Faith," which drew raves from fans and critics alike. Prince also will tell the story of her tumultuous road to Broadway from her hometown of Lynchburg, Virginia through hilarious showbiz anecdotes and brassy vocalizing, incorporating classic showstoppers by Rodgers & Hammerstein, Jule Styne, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Stephen Sondheim, Cy Coleman, and Frank Loesser.
Although renowned for her definitive and acclaimed performances on the Broadway stage, on television, she was a recurring guest star on "Spin City," "Now And Again," and was featured in the recent PBS special "My Favorite Broadway." Additional television credits include "Welcome to New York," "Law & Order," "Frasier," "High Society," "Encyclopedia," and the Hallmark Hall of Fame film "A Season for Miracles."

Founded in 1976, the Performing Arts Center at UNLV continues to be Southern Nevada's premier performing arts venue. Located on the north end of the UNLV campus, and served by a recently built parking garage, the PAC hosts a variety of performances each year in three very distinct series - the Charles Vanda Master Series, Best of the New York Stage, and The World Stage. UNLV and KLVX Channel 10 are graciously sponsoring the 2003-2004 Season, "A Season of Colors."
