Performances will be on Tuesdays, September 16th, 23rd and 30th at 6:00 pm and Thursdays, October 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th at 9:00 pm. There is a $12, and 2-drink minimum.

REDDY OR NOT! is a collection of the music of 1970s Grammy Award-winning songstress, Helen Reddy. It's not a re-hash of Reddy's Greatest Hits like "I Am Woman," "You and Me Against the World," and "Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady," rather Joanna and Lance put their tongues firmly in their cheeks and take a fresh and funny look at Reddy's music and the effect it had on their lives. It is an evening of hilarity for people who love "Pete's Dragon"... and those who don't!

Joanna Parson is a well-known figure on the cabaret and comedy circuit. She has performed at The Comedy Store in LA, in a National Tour of "Buddy: the Buddy Holly Story," on WNYC's radio program, "The Next Big Thing," and at DON'T TELL MAMA in her one-person show "What Good Girls Get." Lance Werth's writing and performing credits include appearing with Mary Birdsong at the 2002 Aspen Comedy Festival and successful Off-Off Broadway comedies like "Night of the Crab," "The Nancys - A Broadway Family," and "Vulture!" Lance taught sketch comedy writing at Gotham City Improve for four years.

REDDY OR NOT! is directed by Joe McDonnell ("Urinetown" - Fringe Festival 2000; "Maybe, Baby, It's You" - Miranda & Here; "Living Doll" - The Duplex) with musical direction by Barbara Anselmi ("My Favorite Year," "The New Yorkers," "Roar of the Greasepaint").
