Cabaret of September 16th

Hosted by: The Leroy Sister

“The Leroy Sister” Amy German and Jenny Sargent any time you get a chance to see these to gymnastic clowns, do. They did an excellent job hosting moving things along very well. Giving us all a taste of them complete with many costume changes. They moved the show along fast with great timing; short of coming out with a hook for one performer that it looked like she was told to she was suppose to do her whole sole show rather than 5 or 10 minutes. During this long piece I counted at least three people sleeping and one looked like he was praying for her to leave the stage soon.

Now to what was great other than “The Leroy Sisters” and not to miss, as this is a teaser for show.
“The Last Show You’ll Ever See” Performed by: Sarah Liane Foster, this is funny and she is fun and personable. Sarah is a very lively real clown using witty wisdom and gusty material while having a unique and original bent. Her main prop is her trombone. She is from my hometown Portland, Oregon that is generally a great place to develop and create.
Her shows are September 17th @ 7 PM, Saturday 18th at 6 PM, Tuesday 21st @ 7 PM, Friday 24th @ 7 PM and Saturday 25th @ 10 PM.

“Harlan the Magnificent”
Performed by Quince Marcum, Tanya Solomon and Deborah Kaufman
Quince makes a great setup for Tanya and she plays the innocent very well. It will be good to see what these two do next. Tanya’s techniques worked very well using and abusing magic props.

“How to give up without really trying”
Performed by Zea Barker
Zea’s sample was great. Saw very much of a clown philosopher and what she did was effective.

“Misery in B Flat”
Created and Performed by Dreagn Foltz and Carol Lee Serugo
Directed by Peter Daniel Straus
This was a good sample and taste of these two performers well directed by Peter. Dreagna and Carol are great physical clown characters playing with the theme of love and very physical. Having seen Carol in many things over the last few years, she is a unique talent and seems to keep on growing and looking forwards to whatever she does next. Dreagn is also very good, both juggling emotions well.

Send in the Angels
Performed by Denni Dennis and Clare Parry-Jones.
What can I say, they are fun to watch and the audience is always alive when they are on stage. They have one of the more creative uses and play with audience participation getting the audience more involve on a deeper level than most performers.
