An Unconventional Life
October 14th at 7:30pm
Tickets: Adult $20 / Student $17

“Dare to Dream.” This is a musical drama about a young Jewish woman who challenged the status quo. The creation of this show began when local soprano Noémi Kiss decided to make her dream of singing all the songs from the movie Yentl come true. Noémi asked Kaslo thespian Lynn van Deursen to “write something theatrical” to showcase the songs and tell a compelling story. The accompanist is pianist John Dean. The piece examines gender inequality, what it means to challenge the status quo, and one young woman’s journey to find her way in a male dominated society. Narrative by Lynn van Deursen, with songs by Michel Legrand (music) Alan & Marilyn Bergman (lyrics).

Before Ella, Tina, Billie or Beyonce there was Josephine…
Josephine is a biographical musical that combines cabaret, theatre and dance to tell the story of the iconic Josephine Baker, the first African-American international superstar and one of the most remarkable figures of the 20th Century. Josephine shatters stereotypes of race, gender roles and sexuality in this intimate, charming and haunting cabaret with a twist.
This show stars Tymisha Harris who has been performing professionally for over 20 years. Recent endeavors include the national tour of “Rock of Ages”, a European tour with the innovative and world-renowned Pilobulus Dance Theaer Company, and a founding member and Assistant Director and Choreographer of the succesful Orlando based troupe, VarieTease.

“She should be starring in a movie version directed by Baz Luhrmann”
