If you haven’t caught chanteuse Julie Cascioppo‘s campy act, y’oughta. She has returned from a six month trip to India and will be performing her “comeback show” on Bastille Day, Wednesday July 14th at 7 pm at the Good Shepherd Center’s Chapel Performance Space (4649 Sunnyside Ave N). Here she tells us about it in that third person narrative that all performers who write their own copy must produce:
JULIE CASCIOPPO, SEATTLE’S ORIGINAL JAZZ CABARET SINGER, INVITES YOU ON A SUB-CONTINENTAL ODYSSEY.
Enjoy Julie’s PLEASANTLY “hot” new act, which offers Jazz tunes and Indian Retro Favorites with a French Twist to quicken the blood between anecdotes of bizarre experiences during her recent six month engagement as as “jazz singer” in India, dodging the dangers arising from intrigues and unlikely relationships in the most severely exciting city on earth: BOMBAY, or, as some call it, MUMBAI!
Featuring such touching experiences as:
- Teaching Jazz to the orphans
- Getting food poisoning from a salad
- Falling in love with stray dogs in the hotel’s vicinity
- Sterilizing said dogs
- Making friends with ex-patriot ladies who lunch
- Auditioning jazz musicians for the gig.
- Adventures with wannabe-boyfriend cab drivers.
This performance is a fundraiser to help with tuition for the International Cabaret Convention at Yale that Julie has been selected to attend by Irv Raible director.
$20.00 donation or sliding scale for the economically disadvantaged, says she. Call for more info 206-286-2740. Here’s a taste:
