Review

Cabaret is a dying art – there are no clubs and no real money performing cabaret. So why would any singer choose it as their medium of expression? For the love of it, of course! From crazy auditioning in New York City to Christmas caroling in San Francisco, Shannon Day takes the audience on a humorous journey through the life and times of a struggling artist and the crazy things she has to do to make a living while pursuing her art. A journey of emotions, Day performs an evening of varied music that includes some Broadway favorites like “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables, “Summer time” from Porgy and Bess and “Greatest Star” from Funny Girl as well as the lesser-known “When I Look At You,” “Maybe I Like It This Way” and “Shannon with an ‘N’” (think “Liza with a “Z”).

The show plays Thursday thru Saturday at 8:00 pm from March 6 – 29 at The Marsh Studio Theater, 1074 Valencia Street @ 22^nd Street in San Francisco.

Tickets are $15- 35 Sliding Scale. To buy tickets call 1-800-838-3006 or visit www.themarsh.org

“Romeo and Juliet & Other Duets” is a re-visioning of works by William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes and Eugene Ionesco. Deb and Jim perform to music, using silent acting and movement to explore the relationship between men and women. A bit like silent movies, these are lush performances, incorporating colorful costumes and all kinds of surprising props. As each piece develops, Deb always finds room for a little ballet with Jim. The two of them share a theatrical repertoire of gesture, grace and heartbreak: a kind of a stroll down the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

Over the years, Deb has played all the lovers in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Kate the Shrew, Cleopatra, Miranda (as a handkerchief), Ariel (as a flyswatter) as well as Juliet. And Jim has been seen as Romeo, Petruchio (vacuuming the audience to the tune of Leonard Cohen's I'm Your Man), Polonius and Puck.

Deb & Jim have their own lives and do lots of other things, together and apart. But whether it’s a story about old love or new love, unrequited love or platonic love, lost love or puppy love, Deb and Jim will show you how its done. Whatever they have to say, whether as Romeo and Juliet or Don Q and Sancho P, they think it is best said (silently) in a duet.
