Jennifer Jasper's FAMILY AFFAIR to Benefit James Atkins at the JewelBox Theater, 11/18

Jennifer Jasper in association with JewelBox Theater presents FAMILY AFFAIR, Cabaret, Served Up Family-Style, on November 18, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are now now available for online purchase.

This month FAMILY AFFAIR is passing the bucket for musician James Atkins. The November lineup includes Jim Jewell, Gretta Harley, Barbi Beckett, Adriana Tapia and Jason Schmidt.

Over the last two years, FAMILY AFFAIR has raised more than $6,000 for 18 artists. We've had more than 90 artists perform from a variety of disciplines-many have been on our stage more than once.

Jennifer Jasper, in association with JewelBox Theater, presents a monthly cabaret all about family. FAMILY AFFAIR, hosted and curated by Jennifer Jasper. Storytellers, dancers, writers, musicians and artists share their hilarious, twisted and ultimately relatable familial skeletons on the third Wednesday of each month. As needed, each performance benefits a family in the artist community who has had an unforeseen crisis. The evening closes with a new story randomly drawn from Jennifer's kooky family album of Jasper Jewels.

In 2014 she was one of six winning playwrights at the Samuel French Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival for her play "et•y•mol•o•gy" which was published in "Off Off Broadway Festival Plays, 39th Series" in 2015.

She co-founded Kings' Elephant Theatre (original long form improvisational pieces and unscripted plays) and Vixen Productions (Pulp Vixens, A Fistful of Lesbians). Jennifer's hit autobiographical show I Can Hear You...But I'm Not Listening was featured most recently at Bumbershoot 2014, Teatro Paraguas in Santa Fe, NM in January 2014 and Theatre Off Jackson's SPF Festival in March of 2013, and was part of the 2014 Hollywood Fringe Festival in June.
