I haven't plugged Frank Ferrante lately. He's been touring Australia with his wonderful show, An Evening With Groucho, in which he masterfully replicates the grouchiest Marx Brother. I've recommended his show a lot on this blog and this earns me a lot of e-mails from folks who went to see him and want to tell me I was absolutely right. We all like being told we were absolutely right, do we not?
Frank's first performance when he returns to the United States will be in his hometown of Sierra Madre, California. It's a benefit for the Sierra Madre Playhouse and it's a rare chance to see him near Los Angeles, where he rarely performs. (Your next chance is a Wednesday matinee in La Mirada, next March.) Since the Sierra Madre show is for charity, tickets are a bit pricey but include a champagne reception and a meet 'n' greet. Find out all about it at this website.
And watch out if you live near Bonita Springs, Florida. Frank is heading your way very soon.
