PALIN: THE LIVE TELEVISED MUSICAL CAMPAIGN to Play the Laurie Beechman, 10/8

Where Saturday Night Live meets Forbidden Broadway, Erica Vlahinos and Benjamin Simpson present PALiN: the Live Televised Musical Campaign (www.palinthemusicalcampaign.com), an outrageous new one-act comedy hit that follows Sarah Palin as she embarks on a one-night only, live televised event to set the record straight and announce her candidacy in the 2016 Presidential Election. A fast-paced, witty book paired with show tune parodies, PALiN sharply satires both musical theatre and politics in this laugh-out-loud musical-comedy campaign. So pack your bags, because we're about to have a Tea Party!

Erica Vlahinos is a promising new writer, performer, and comedian thrilled to be bringing her second original work, PALiN: the Musical Campaign! to NYC. Vlahinos, a recent Musical Theatre graduate from the University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music, was last seen performing at The Town Hall in the Broadway's Rising Stars Concert. Other credits include performances in the Kennedy Center Honors as an NFAA Young Arts Finalist and Presidential Scholar in the Arts.

Joining Vlahinos is her fellow CCM classmate and collaborator, Collin Kessler. Kessler recently starred as Captain Jerk in the Midtown International Festival's production of Warp Speed: A Sci-Fi Parody Musical. A burgeoning playwright, he also performed his original works throughout Cincinnati, including his one man show - What I Know.
