The Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company presents ONE NIGHT ONLY - An Evening Of Song & Laughter hosted by Linda Kash and Sheila McCarthy on Monday, April 16, 8PM at the Jane Mallett Theatre, St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts.
Act One features Canadian musical theatre stars Thom Allison (Priscilla Queen of the Desert, upcoming Ragtime at Shaw); jazz, cabaret & pop singer Micah Barnes (latest CD release "Domesticated"); actor, singer Mitch Smolkin (latest CD release "Rexite, the Wunderkind"); pan- cultural jazz-cabaret diva Theresa Tova; Gabi Epstein (Dany Girl, To Life); Jeff Madden (Jersey Boys); Charlotte Moore (To Life, Hairspray); Louise St. Cyr (Lord of the Rings, Show Boat) and the University of Toronto Hillel's a cappella choir Varsity Jews (debut CD "This One's a Kippah"). The musical director for the evening is Mark Camilleri (The Toxic Avenger, The Canadian Tenors).
Act Two presents the award-winning National Theatre of the World -- Matt Baram, Naomi Snieckus and Rod Pederson.
This troupe will improvise a full-length play before your very eyes paying homage to Neil Simon, David Mamet or Woody Allen as they use that playwright's style and the audiences' suggestions to weave theatrical merriment! The National Theatre of the World is a multi-disciplinary, Toronto-based theatre company that creates exciting, provocative, and instantaneous theatre through the art of improvisation.
Hosts Linda Kash (Gorgeous in HGJTC's The Sisters Rosensweig) and beloved film, stage and television veteran Sheila McCarthy("Little Mosque on the Prairie") are currently in rehearsal for the upcoming Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company's production of Neil Simon's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play LOST IN YONKERS starring Marion Ross (TV's "Happy Days").
