"Kidding on the Square," directed by Sarna Lapine, is an evening of old fashioned love songs with a twist. It's a journey that takes the audience on a roaring 20's ride through love, heartbreak, and everything in between. The show revolves around classic songs from the 1920's and 30's, but also presents vintage retakes on modern favorites from Lily Allen to Madonna. "My cabaret is from an actor's perspective. I'm not interested in just singing pretty standards at the piano," explains Ms. Bergl. "I wanted to develop a complete piece with an arc and different characters, an evening of songs that are stories. At the end of the day, it's all about entertaining people."

Ms. Bergl is also a passionate volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, and has built houses in Thailand, Borneo, and Mississippi. In October she will build alongside President and Roslyn Carter in Washington DC as part of the Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter Work Project.
