JENN COLELLA – MARCH 17 – 19 AT 7PM

After her second sold-out New Year’s Eve show, come enjoy a low-key, intimate evening with Tony nominee Jenn Colella as she shares stories and insights from her 22 year career on Broadway. Colella electrifies with big show stoppers from the Broadway shows she’s starred in, including Come From Away, Chaplin, If/Then, SUFFS, and more. Sing along with some of Jenn’s other favorite pop, rock tunes that have shaped her journey along the way.

Come see why BroadwayWorld cabaret critic Stephen Mosher says, “I don’t believe I have ever seen an artist work a room the way that this singing actress does, and that’s what had me gobsmacked. Anybody who has only ever seen her play a part should get her concert appearances on their radar so that they, too, can go and learn, first hand, what it is to be Gobsmacked By Colella.”

A SHARP Theater Collective is based in New York City; producing pieces theater, comedy, and more that strive to reimagine the theater-going experience. A collective of young artists in NYC who’ve come together to shake up the tradition of going to the theater, we’re hoping to not only make the theater feel more of an accessible place to all, but have people experience theater in a way to allow them to see the inherent theatricality in everyday life. We do so by embracing the inherent immersivity and camp that naturally is infused into a theatrical production- leaving audience members with a transformative experience that won’t fall “FLAT.”
