Empire Stage Presents SILVER BALLS Through Dec 21

By:

Empire Stage presents a World Premiere holiday comedy-cabaret, SILVER BALLS, written by Garet Scott and directed by Kevin Thomsen, through December 21, 2014.

In this world-premiere holiday cabaret, the incomparable Brooks Braselman (Mommie Queerest, The Facts of Life: The Lost Episode, The Silence of The Clams) lends his wit and warmth to the life of Francie Silver, high-stepping heiress to a sweet candy fortune -- those tiny silver balls they call dragée. Silver Balls tells the story of Francie's life and loves, from her start as a pampered rich girl, to her rise as an NYC cabaret singer, to her adventures on the High Seas. Between tales of romance, mystery and scandal, Francie entertains us with favorite holiday songs, and with cookies, gifts and surprises. See it and you'll agree, Francie has a golden voice... and Silver Balls!

The production stars Brooks Braselman*, David R. Gordon and Dancing Flamingos. *Denotes member actor equity association
