Midland/Odessa Area AIDS Support, Inc. (MAAS) has organized "Broadway in the Basin" for over ten years, as the organization's premier annual fundraising event. This year, MAAS welcomes former Midlander Eddie Pleasant back home to perform his newly-created show, "Sincerely, Nat - The Life & Music of Nat 'King' Cole," currently touring nationwide. The 2009 annual gala takes place Thursday, October 29th at the historic Yucca Theatre in downtown Midland. The evening is a benefit for the Midland/Odessa Area AIDS Support, Inc. (MAAS).
“Everybody knows his music,” Pleasant said in this report from the Midland Reporter-Telegram. “I’m not impersonating the man. I’m paying homage to him as a human being. I do sing a good 20 to 30 minutes of his music, but a lot of what I’m going to present is just his story.”

Midland/Odessa Area AIDS Support (MAAS) was founded to counsel, comfort and support individuals with HIV/AIDS and their families.
