About This Show
A selected reading from 300 children’s poems inspired by traditional Japanese Tanka form, accompanied by original music and song. This commission by Maria Bacardi and Oddfellows Playhouse was originally presented at the 2007 Longhouse Gala in honor of Yoko Ono and Jack Lenor Larsen.
Gershwin Live is an evolving 21st century salon. Artists with fearless & distinctive voices present theater, dance, film, cabaret, ghost stories, music & uncategorizable hybrids. Curated by Michael Wiener & Neke Carson.
