Craig Jessup in Vantage Point at Throckmorton Theatre

There are certain moments in life when every choice you’ve made, every relationship

you’ve experienced, every journey you’ve made converge in a moment of emotional

clarity. You might call that new perspective a vantage point, and that is where you will

find veteran Bay Area performer Craig Jessup in his new cabaret show.

Vantage Point brings together Jessup’s original songs with insightful classics from the

Great American Songbook by the likes of Stephen Sondheim, Rodgers and Hart, Cy

Coleman, David Shire and Stephen Schwartz to tell the story of an artist in and out of

love.

Jessup will be accompanied by Musical Director Noah Bossert with bassist Daniel

Fabricant and drummer Nathaniel Welch.

Craig Jessup was described by the San Francisco Chronicle as a performer who can

be “playful or twangy, or edgy and electric. His singing also has a narrative quality that

betrays his musical theater background. Each lyric springs from a deep and distinct

emotion; each bit of phrasing is carefully sculpted to communicate an idea with clarity

and dynamism.”
