Encore Date Added For Jennifer Barnhart's Solo Cabaret Debut At The Laurie Beechman Theater In It's About Time!

After years of playing well with others - whether singing backup for friends' shows, or crooning alongside a cast of puppet characters - Jennifer Barnhart finally steps into the spotlight in her first solo cabaret, fittingly titled, "It's About Time!" Alan Muraoka directs an evening of stories, silliness and song as Jennifer shares the journey that led her to two of the most famous streets in the world: Broadway and Sesame Street.

This encore performance will be at 7:00 pm on Sunday, November 24th at the Laurie Beechman Theatre, downstairs at the Westbank Cafe on 42nd Street. Jennifer will be accompanied by music director Gary Adler, bassist Mary Ann McSweeney, and percussionist Michael Croiter. There will be special appearances by some other Avenue Q residents as well.
