Putney Vaudeville! Winter 2014

PUTNEY VAUDEVILLE! is the creation of Rebecca Waxman, Bronwyn Sims, Patrick Donnelly and Peter Siegel, an ongoing showcase for old time entertainment and community talent that wowed audiences in its first two performances last year. The night will include a stellar professional act, a rousing live band, assorted friends and neighbors displaying skills you may never have seen, beer and wine service and good-natured audience engagement.

This winter edition of Putney Vaudeville! will feature Hilary Chaplain, as well as the versatile house band GASLIGHT TINKERS, a beloved local band as well-versed in afro-pop, funk and reggae as they are in Celtic fiddle tunes and Tin Pan Alley chestnuts.

Hilary Chaplain tours internationally with her solo show A LIFE IN HER DAY, directed by Avner Eisenberg. Awards include Arlekin Solo Puppet Festival (Grand Prize), the XXI International Festival "Valise" (Acting Award) both in Poland, and in Havana, Cuba at Aquelarre 2006 (three Awards including the Grand Prize). Hilary has performed in variety shows worldwide with her short comic numbers, most recently at the Palazzo Colombino Freiburg and the Kristallpalast Varieté, both in Germany. Hilary was an original cast member in Bill Irwin's Largely/New York and appeared on Broadway and at the Delacorte Theatre in the Public Theatre production of The Tempest directed by George C. Wolfe. She played a featured role in Forrest Gump, and a lawyer on Law and Order Criminal Intent. Hilary has been entertaining children in NYC hospitals as "Nurse Nice" of the renowned Big Apple Circus Hospital Clown Program (since 1987) and is a founding member of the New York Goofs, a clown ensemble.

Beer and wine will be available through JD McCliment's Pub.
