SONGS & STORIES FOR OUR DAYS: An Unorthodox Spiritual Cabaret
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE JANUARY SHOWS A SUCCESS
ENCORE! ENCORE! ON THE MAGICAL LEAP YEAR DATE!
GET BLISSED ON WEDNESDAY, FEB 29 @ 7:30pm
What if Tony Bennett, Confucius, Aesop, and Oscar Wilde got together to collaborate on a cabaret act? It might look something like "Songs & Stories For Our Days: An Unorthodox Spiritual Cabaret." ReEvolutionary Productions and Spirit Studio Silverlake present an uplifting and provocative evening of words and music expressing both the joys and challenges of living in such a complex modern world where dog fights are nothing compared to devastating dogma wars.
An evening that paints images in the mind's eye through the power of words and melodies over artifice and illusion. Universal themes are given a playful examination through original and compelling a cappella tunes. Alchemically added to the mix are personal musings and the telling of rare folk tales from around the world with fresh and relevant connections to current events. The aim is to stir the soul while guiding the audience through chaos towards bliss. In-joy the ride!

CAVAFY'S CARESS- Performance
The 2011 production of Cavafy's Caress was an overwhelming success. Plans are in the works for a production to happen in Spring of 2012.
Thank you to all who participated in the creation of the show and who attended.
"If you have a feeling for poetry, if you look for beauty to make enrich your life and find beauty in connecting your life with others, you must go! You will regret it later if you do not. Jason Jenn gives a 4-star performance and his play woven of Cavafy’s poems are exceptional. By the magnificent ending, I felt I had known Cavafy and was now connected to a great soul. This is a theater event that will live lovingly in your thoughts and feelings for a long time." - review comment by Mike Fahy

"Songs & Stories For Our Days" is a collection of what I call unorthodox spiritual song lyrics alongside artwork and photographs. However the unorthodox nature of it is merely that it follow no one dogma and takes a more universal and curious viewpoint. It's a lush and easy to read collection of thought-provoking and illuminating words and images.
As a multimedia artist, my life has led me on some rather unusual adventures, and along they way I've been inspired to create the songs and art contained in this book. It is my aim to share meaning through words alongside images of beauty, revealing the both the fragile and devastating aspects of life as well as the magic and miraculous. I'm pleased to share some of the treasures of my journey thus far with you in this collection. I hope you'll in-joy them even a fraction as much as I have in -joy, created them!
