About the Cabarets – From writers/performers Sarah Brooke and Leslie Fera

Love …. and other Mishaps, written and performed by Lesley Fera, is one woman’s journey through the trials and triumphs of relationships and the realizations made along the way. Through storytelling and song, we are taken through the hilarity and heartbreak of what it’s like to search for that often elusive “special someone.”

Feels Like Home, written and performed by Sarah Brooke, is about the search for feeling comfortable in one’s own skin. Through personal anecdotes and a diverse and unusual collection of songs, Ms. Brooke explores her past and many different personalities while attempting to answer that eternally frustrating question, “Who the heck am I?”

A Few Words on Cabaret: Cabaret is not often performed on Los Angeles stages. For many of us in the company at PRT, we have been fortunate to have been introduced to this wonderful form by taking classes with Carolyn Mignini. In these classes, we approached songs from an acting point of view; each song became an imagined life, an acting scene in and of itself. Most are familiar with more traditional forms of cabaret, where a well known singer will perform an evening of songs and chat with the audience briefly to tell us who the song is written by or describe the song coming up. The form that we’ve embraced is more theatrical in nature…more like an evening of story-telling with song. The songs take over when words fail, drawing the audience deeper into this very intimate and personal form of theatre. We hope you will come and share these two very unique evenings of theatre with us.[/one_half]
