FIRST PERSON SINGULAR
presents
I'm With Cupid: Girl Group Songs and Other Teen Agonies
Keep those hearts thumpin' and join us two days after Valentine's for a bubblegum-popping extravaganza! We'll celebrate the music of The Ronettes, The Beach Boys, The Shirelles, Big Star, The Crystals, The Honeycombs, The Cookies, Suicide, and more, in a program that tells a tale of love found, love lost, love regained, and love... aaah, you know the story. We've chosen to honor these timeless A-sides by performing them in the mode of a classical recital. Bay Area legend Joshua Raoul Brody (music service provider for Club Foot Orchestra, Boz Skaggs, The Residents, Josh Kornbluth, Tom Waits, Pee-Wee Herman, and others equally notable) will accompany on piano.
Your lovestruck innocents for the evening are Theresa Kelly and Joe Christiano.
Ms. Kelly fronts the rock-and-roll band Korolenko, and is a veteran of several First Person Singular programs.
Mr. Christiano has sung in countless showers nationwide.
This program is a benefit for WriterCoach Connection - an organization that helps students succeed - in class and in life - by pairing them with volunteer writing tutors.
Bring your partners, spouses, exes, missed connections, and friends. Help spread the word!
YOU WILL HEART THIS.
