Word Plays at the Cabaret
Our Third Season: 2016
Sundays at 2:00 pm $10 (at the door only, cash/check)
After our first and second seasons in Salem, Word Plays returns Fall 2017!
The new-old art of storytelling is a blend of theater, stand-up comedy,
reminiscence around the campfire, folk research, history buzz, ancient myth and
midnight confession. It's always fascinating and always a surprise.
Over a dozen performers will be telling during this season.
At each Word Play, a different group of performers tell rarely heard contemporary and traditional stories
about being human. You will discover that Word Plays is a shared experience between the audience and the performer, combining the intensity of a solo performer with the intimacy of a face-to-face conversation.
Each show has its own theme where each story told relates to that theme.

Siri Allison is the host. For more information, please call (518) 854-3998.
