N.Y.STATE: FT. SALEM THEATER OPENS SEASON WITH COMEDY & SONG
The CABARET AT FORT SALEM THEATER (11 East Broadway, Salem, NY - 518-854-9200) opens its 2010 season on Saturday, April 10th at 8:00 pm with Boys 'R' Us/The Improv Club", interactive music and improvisational comedy from an award-winning area barbershop quartet and Clifton Park's accomplished improv group. The a cappella quartet Boys 'R' Us met as teens in 1982 when they were singing in the Racing City Barbershop Chorus. Grown men, now, with real responsibilities, they call themselves Boys 'R' Us because they "never really wanted to grow up." Balancing jobs, families, and their lives, the four singers performed once again in 2008 after twenty years apart, last summer competing (as adults) and winning in the Salem Courthouse Community Center's Annual Talent Trials. Boys 'R' Us are joined for a truly interactive evening by The Improv Club. Founded two years ago, The Improv Club consists of experienced stage performers and stand-up comics who believe the shortest distance between two people is humor. An Improv Club show integrates the best in classic improvisation with new games and original sketches appropriate for family audiences. For their show in the Cabaret this talented troupe is joined at the Fort by their DJ, Schuylerville's Christopher Tucker, who provides upbeat, whimsical music to accompany the Improv Club's sketches. Tickets are $20 (includes $5 for dessert and coffee)
