As a ten-year old boy growing up in Buffalo, he made up operas using his action figures. Now a Juilliard School of Music grad, Jay Louis Dref will appear with musician/playwright Joey Giambra and noted Buffalo actors and musicians one night only Saturday August 25 at the Kavinoky Theatre in a performance of  Giambra's BREAD AND ONIONS, a poetic narrative about Sicilian immigrants and their families in the lower West Side of Buffalo.

Recently appearing at the Burchfield Penney Art Center,  the North Park Theatre and the Italian Festival with Buffalo musician Joey Giambra, Dref will again share the stage with Giambra on Saturday, August 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the Kavinoky Theatre, 320 Porter Avenue on the D’Youville College campus in Buffalo, New York for a musical version of Giambra’s “Bread and Onions” performance piece.
