Variety Show was a success!
Point of You Productions would like to thank everyone for their commitment and participation in our first ever Point of You Variety Hour. We are pleased to say that it was a quality production that helped us raise funds for our fall production Sunset Motel. The event was filmed and we hope to post video snippets on our website soon.
I know many audience members wanted to see a playbill for this event (sorry we didn't have one, we wanted to keep you on your toes!). To that end, here is a run down of the fabulous acts who performed… it truly was a POY-pourri of comedy, music and entertainment!
If you would like to participate in our next Variety Hour, please reach out to Marc Adam Smith (marcadam at pointofyou dot com – we are trying to avoid spam, so please change the “at” to “@” and the “dot” to “.” when emailing)
POINT OF YOU VARIETY HOUR – INAUGURAL SHOW
Jeff Love and Johnny Blaze Leavitt started the evening performing a song and dance routine – with a bit of improv thrown in. This number was originally supposed to be a Family Guy spoof, but in the end they developed their own composition.
Lizzie Czerner as Mistress Delia. In this comedic monologue, Lizzie’s dominatrix-to-the-stars revealed why she cannot “schnoogle.” Fun fact: This monologue was inspired by and developed during the run of our production Hurt So Good!
Paul Weissman – John Cazale Tribute 1, 2 and 3. Paul exploited his uncanny resemblance to the actor and re-enacted several of Cazale’s most famous roles to hilarious effect.
Monica Russell stand-up routine. Monica entertained us and made us squirm with her depiction of Southern cockroaches (aka water bugs).
Jason Spiewak set. Jason entertained and moved us with two original songs from his album coming out next year. http://www.notbillyjoel.com/
Johnny Blaze Leavitt stand-up routine. What fun to have an unintentional boyfriend-girlfriend stand-up routine. Much of the audience didn’t realize it, but Monica and Johnny are dating and their routines worked so well as a "he said, she said."
Jessie J. Fahay, Melanie Kuchinski Rodriguez and Alyssa Mann in a scene from Glengarry Glenn Ross. A gender bending take on the foulmouthed salesman play.
Chris Keating monologue. Chris brought the house down with his humorous monologue about the impending extinction of the banana as we know it. Based on true events! http://sooperdelishus.com/
Andrea Scannell set. Andrea closed the evening with her soulful voice and performed two great numbers accompanied by her main squeeze Paul Weissman, on guitar.
Marc Adam Smith, MC Extraordinaire. Marc kept the night rolling and our audience rolling in the aisles with sharp wit in between performances. http://www.bearonfire.com/
