San Rafael (PRWEB) January 30, 2016 -- The Kanbar Center at the Osher Marin JCC offers a celebration of comedy, dance, and song on April 2, 2016 as Frank Ferrante returns to the Hoytt Theater with his critically acclaimed one-man show "An Evening with Groucho". Fasten your seat belts for a fast-paced, roller coaster ride of classic jokes, wit, songs, stories, dances and hilarious improvised audience interaction in the tradition of Groucho Marx.
Award-winning actor and director Frank Ferrante recreates his PBS, New York and London acclaimed portrayal of legendary comedian Groucho Marx. This two-act comedy, a fast paced 90 minutes of hilarity, features the best Groucho one-liners, anecdotes and songs including "Hooray for Captain Spalding” and "Lydia, The Tattooed Lady”.
The audience literally becomes part of the show as Ferrante ad-libs his way throughout the performance in grand Groucho style. Accompanied by an onstage pianist, Ferrante portrays the young Groucho of stage and film and reacquaints us with the likes of brothers Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo, Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields, Groucho’s foil Margaret Dumont and MGM's Louis B. Mayer.
This show will thrill Groucho enthusiasts, create new ones, and offer insight to what was the beginning of modern humor as we know it. A show perfect for all ages. Children welcome.
Frank directed, produced and starred in the national PBS television program “Groucho: A Life in Revue” and has played over 1200 performances as the comic Latin lover ‘Caesar’ in the cirque show Teatro ZinZanni in Seattle and San Francisco and in Palazzo in Amsterdam.
