Last Salon Until Fall

Attention: If you’ve been wishing, intending, hoping to come to one of the Salons someday…better come to this one June 13. It’s our last of the Winter-Spring season as we take a break for the summer and present again in the fall.  This line up is a fine array of literary, storytelling, singing and physical theater performers.

Featured Performers:

Al Manalo, Fil-Am Stand up Comedian:
Back from Metro Manila malls, killer punch lines in the form of Mongolian throat singing, he’ll perform feats that have never been attempted…until now!

Elaine Muray, Storyteller:
Beneath the cloth, behind the mask: one body, one thousand characters.

Nanci Gaglio, Screenwriter/Playwright:
“Jose Comin’ This Way”.  It’s about a hurricane, Jesus and who saves who?

Gary Lapow, Singer/Songwriter:
From the deeply moving to the hilarious, from the New York folk music scene, to SNCC Freedom Singers (Civil Rights Era), to Malvina Reynolds, Gary offers a musical perspective of an older, seasoned lover of life.
