Richard Skipper's Friday Wrap Up Show: Artists Making A Difference

Danny Bacher is an award-winning singer, saxophonist, songwriter and entertainer in the fullest sense of the term. He’s not only a master of the demanding soprano sax, but combines his virtuosity on the instrument with a talent for comedy and narrative storytelling. He’s a smooth and cool individual who makes hot jazz and pop, cut fromthe cloth of the great Louis Prima and Mel Torme. With Lived Experience, JAMES BEAMAN returns to the cabaret stage for the first time since 2002, when he, Goldie Dver and David Maiocco received the MAC Award for Revue of the Year for their show Crazy World: Songs of Leslie Bricusse. Jamie came to New York in 1993 with his solo act, Bacall: By Herself (CaB Magazine Award). After headlining the world famous La Cage Revue at The Blue Angel, he created three shows as Marlene Dietrich, Queen of the World (Bistro Award), Marlene! Alive at the Café de Paris and Black Market Marlene, which he toured to San Francisco, New Orleans, and Berlin, Germany for the Millennium. His acting career spans three decades, including Off Broadway (The Road To Qatar!, When Pigs Fly, A Wilder Christmas, Howard Crabtree’s Whoop-Dee-Doo!) and regional theatres, from Goodspeed Musicals to The Kennedy Center. Jamie starred as Sir Robin in the First National Tour of Monty Python’s Spamalot, playing 62 cities and 700 performances, opposite stars Richard Chamberlain, Jonathan Hadary, Gary Beach and John O’Hurley. Tessa began acting as a teenager in Ionesco’s “The Bald Soprano” at the Washington Theater Club, and as Sandy in “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” for the Chevy Chase Players before heading off to SUNY Purchase to study Political Economy and Film.
