Jo Brisbane BIO

JO BRISBANE creates and produces theatre and cabaret shows in venues from Provincetown, MA, to Boston to NYC. Her cabaret show “Mod Hollywood! Tunes from a Town Without Pity” was described as “a delightful tour of films of the 1950s and 1960s” by critic Bart Greenberg, adding “Brisbane brought a fine intelligence and deep emotion to her delivery. Each number was terrific, as she exposed the subtle meanings within the poetic words”. “Mod Hollywood” enjoyed a run at Don’t Tell Mama in NYC and played at Club Café in Boston. “Hope for the Holidays – The Wintry Mix Edition” is a holiday spoof based on Brisbane’s original characters written for The Hope Henderson Show, and the cabaret version will have a four-city tour in November and December 2023. Jo recently produced a group show “The Vodka Stingers Sing the Songs of Sondheim & Schwartz” for the Provincetown Cabaret Fest and was a member of the debut production of “Ladies Who Brunch” at Cotuit Center for the Arts (a variation of that show was also presented by Club Café in Boston). Jo recently launched “Club CDG – A Sunday Cabaret Series” -- an open mike venture created for the Chatham Drama Guild, Chatham MA. Onstage, her favorite roles have included: Uncle Ernie in Tommy, A Rock Opera (CCftA) ; Mrs. Peachum in Threepenny Opera (Eventide Theatre Company); Queen Herodias in Salome (Provincetown Theatre; Queequeg in Moby Dick! The Musical (CCftA); Edna Krabappel in Mister Burns and the post-electric play (Cape Rep); and Florence Foster Jenkins in Souvenir (CCftA). She recently directed a production of “Three Little Girls Down A Well by Justin Elizabeth Sayre for CCftA. www.jobrisbanecreates.com www.thehopehendersonshow.com
