Aja Nisenson presents
Piccola Cosi, A Solo Show
Thursday, April 30, 2009
An hysterical and intimate ride through the underbelly of Bologna's jazz scene.
Length: 1 hr 10 mins
Intermission: None
Seating: General Admission
You choose your seats when you get to the theater.
A sheltered girl gets swept right out of her orthopedic sneakers by a sea of eager Italian men when she follows her dreams of singing jazz in the smoky clubs of Bologna.
What the PRESS says:
“As full of talent as she is of spaghetti, she recalls in vivid, sidesplitting detail her trip through Italy as a 21-year-old virgin who becomes a sought-after jazz singer… Nisenson is a natural storyteller, with an ear for impersonations and an eye for glamorous and gritty detail.”
--BACKSTAGE
“I saw this show twice… After that first time, I cried—not immediately, but in the street. I cried over risk, over sexuality, over danger as success and safety as failure, over being a woman and an artist. Isn't that what theatre does at its best—cut you to the core?”
--NYTHEATRE.COM
**** (Four Stars)
“ Like Sarah Silverman, Nisenson dresses her hot self simply—all in black, with comfy sneakers…an engaging portrait of that special time of life when nascent adults go overseas to find themselves, and end up getting into cars with strangers.”
--TIME OUT NEW YORK
The Triad has a two-drink minimum.
