ED SULLIVAN AND CAROL BURNETT REMEMBERED IN LIVE VARIETY SHOW IN LEE

Comedienne and singer/songwriter Liv Cummins brings her old-fashioned-variety-show with-a-twist to The Spectrum Playhouse in Lee, hosting Saturday Night Liv June 3rd and 4th at 7:30 pm. Sketch comedy featuring the Really Convincing Players, and area magician Carl Seiger will perform, along with musical performances by Cummins and area songwriter Sandy McKnight, along with a few surprises, promises Cummins.

Seiger is a well-known performer who lives in Tyringham. He performs all over the country, doing his smooth brand of magic. The Really Convincing Players include local actors Andrew Joffe and Sarah Mitchell, John Wallace of Kinderhook, NY, Tony Carrano of Hudson, NY, and Cummins, doing original sketches written by McKnight, Joffe and Cummins.

The show is presented by Columbia Arts Team, a not-for-profit performing arts company. We aim for a family-friendly type show, though obviously some of the humor will be over the head of some younger patrons. But weve found that all ages enjoy the show, in general. Theres not too much out there a whole family can go to and enjoy equally, but with our variety format, theres something for everyonejust like Ed Sullivan or Carol Burnett used to do, enthused Cummins.

This is the 15th year for the homespun variety show, which McKnight and Cummins debuted in Hudson, NY in 2002. They are planning two episodes this year, with a second to follow in September. There is some discussion with a few Pittsfield venues about presenting it there as well, at some point, Cummins explained. Well be doing episode two at The Spectrum during Lee Founders Day weekend, and hope to bring the show all around the Berkshires.
