SALEM, NY: NIGHT OF COMEDY AND MUSIC IN SALEM CABARET SALEM, NY
"All in the Family", a night of comedy and music opens the Fall at the Fort Cabaret Series at
The CABARET AT FORT SALEM THEATER (11 East Broadway, Salem, NY - 518-854-9200) on Saturday, November 7th at 8:00 pm. All in the Family stars comedian Adam Kerr, who was last seen on the Fort's Mainstage in Significant Others, in 2012. The son of Fort Salem's artistic director, Jay Kerr, Adam is joined by his step-mother, singer Lynne Kerr, and the Kerr's "theater daughter," Jessica O'Keefe, who grew up onstage at Fort Salem and has starred in six Mainstage productions since 2007, when the Kerr's reopened the renovated summer stock theater in Southern Washington County. Ten years into his career as a professional funny man, Adam Kerr has opened for comedy icons Robert Klein, Gilbert Gottfried, and Kevin Meany. He performs regularly at the Catch a Rising Star comedy clubs in Princeton, NJ, Providence, RI, and Reno, NV; at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City; in Manhattan at the Laugh Factory, Dangerfield's, and the Friars' Club; and has been seen locally at Long Trail School, Christ the King in Greenwich, and opening for Benita Zahn in her first-ever solo cabaret at Fort Salem in 2007. No surprise, much of Adam's material is about family: how his WASP family of origin ill-prepared him to spar with his Italian-American mother-in-law, and, now, how having a son with a new sister on the way tends to change the patterns of a guy's life. After looking and sounding like a 60's folksinger during her college years in the mid-70's, Lynne Kerr embarked upon a career in pharmaceutical advertising, and, achieving some success, decided to leave the office grind once a week for singing lessons. She found vocal instructor Jay Kerr, who spent most of his work hours coaching aspiring Broadway performers for auditions, and who welcomed a gainfully employed student like Lynne, able to afford regular, frequent paid sessions. In All in the Family, Lynne, known for her CD and show, Songs My Husband Wrote, will be performing only one Kerr song, complemented by works written by Carole King, Barry Manilow, and Amanda McBroom. There is a $25 cover - which includes refreshments.
