BEST OF BOSTON
The SAM Assembly 9 “Best of Boston” contest will be held Wednesday, April 10th at the Puppet Showplace Theater, 32 Station St., Brookline, at 7:30 PM. There is no charge for this performance.
Note that the starting time is a bit earlier than usual because we have eight contestants participating, and we plan to finish voting and present the awards by 9:30. Contestants include (not necessarily in this order):
- Joseph Caulfield (Lord BlackSword)
- James D. Macdonald
- Scott Galbraith
- Mike Lee
- Kevin Butler
- Eddie Gardner
- Duncan Miller
- Markus Steelgrave
Each contestant will present an 8-12 minute routine of their choice.
Each audience member will receive a ballot and can vote for up to three
contestants. The top three vote recipients will be the contest winners.
For my part, I intend to present “Pure Jennie, the Moonshiner’s Daughter; or, The Vexations of Vice,” the routine that I did to great applause in the “It’s Vaudeville!” show.
[Note: It’s Vaudeville will return on September 7th to the Newport Opera House in Newport, NH.]
[UPDATE 12APR19]: I won third place, with a trophy.
