Chris Jeffries is playing the reading party
The award-winning composer is our guest musician this Wednesday night!
The Seattle composer Chris Jeffries — who is literally a genius — is playing the Silent Reading Party on Wednesday.
Yes!!
Jeffries is a composer and writer who has written the music and lyrics for many musicals — and often tells stories of a literary bent.
His musical based on Jane Austen’s Persuasion premiered at Taproot Theatre after being workshopped at The 5th Avenue’s NextFest. He has written the book, music, and lyrics for such musicals as Vera Wilde (Winner of 4 SFBATCC awards), Moon of My Delight (Empty Space), The Glory Booty Club (Garland Award), I See London, I See France and The Fatty Arbuckle Spook HouseRevue (Annex Theatre, Yale School of Drama).
He moonlights as the ever-silent accompanist/arranger for internationally disclaimed chanteuse Dina Martina.
Having him at the reading party is a rare treat.
As of this writing a couple seats are available at the Sorrento.
Virtual tickets are also available. Or if you are a paid subscriber here, the link for virtual entry will be posted here on Substack on Wednesday. Virtual attendees may join us from anywhere in the world — as long as you have an internet connection.
