The Shotgun Cabaret presents

First Person Singular's
Schmaltz! The Genius of Barry Manilow (A holiday sing-along)

Delve into the ecstatic emotional excess of the king of key changes! A one-time successful jingle writer, Barry Manilow knew how to effectively press buttons. He expressed deep human longing in the most manipulative possible way, yet he was never less than sincere - a mensch with a soft spot for grandiosity. Mom knew. The best time for guilty pleasures is the holidays, so come join our chorus for "Mandy", "Could It Be Magic", "Weekend in New England" and all the other greats. We can't smile - or sing - without you!

Tuesday, December 18th at 8pm

Tickets: $15*
(*There is a $2 credit card processing fee per ticket, no matter the point of sale.)

 

The Shotgun Cabaret

This fall, on traditionally dark nights, First Person Singular will illuminate the Ashby Stage with dynamically fresh takes on American culture: an engagement with First Ladies, aliens from the Twilight Zone, a nice Jewish boy who made the whole world sing, and Bay Area cell phone monologuists who are not the guy behind you in the checkout line. It's the national voice in all its crazy glory. It's First Person Singular at the Ashby Stage.
