Sneak Preview of "Striking 12"
Do you like to have the inside scoop before everyone else? Probably you do, or you wouldn't be reading this blog. Well, we're about to give you a 6-month head start on knowing about TheatreWorks' December show: "Striking 12."
Oh sure, you could go to the TheatreWorks page on the show found in the link above. There you would learn that "Striking 12" is a "rewired version of 'The Little Match Girl' by Hans Christian Andersen'" featuring the band GrooveLily. This is their third season presenting "Striking 12", and last year it was a big hit at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre. This year they're bringing it to the Lucie Stern in Palo Alto. GrooveLily is a trio comprised of Valerie Vigoda (vocals/violin), Gene Lewin (drums/ vocals) and former local guy Brendan Milburn (piano/vocals.)
But if you want to be even more plugged in than that, you can get a sneak preview of their awesome brand of music in three local gigs in August. Here are the dates/venues:
