On April 23, a double dose of celebrities will be performing at the Met School, 325 Public St., Providence. Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker, who starred on L.A. Law and are married in real life, perform in the 90-minute show, Duet. The show features singing and storytelling, and the showing of TV clips.

"It's about their years together, the ups and downs of their marriage and the challenges of being on L.A. Law," said Loriana DeCrescenzo, a spokeswoman for the Met School.

The show is a fundraiser for the College Unbound program developed by the Big Picture Learning organization, co-founded by Dennis Littky and Elliot Washor in 1995. The program is now at a few dozen schools across the country, including the Met School in Providence, which in the fall will enroll 10 students from the program, which involves academics and apprenticeship.
