In her first solo show, the always engaging BROOKE SCHOOLEY shares songs and poignant stories about losing one’s bearings, inspired by having organized her parents’ care over the past decade. Standards and art songs get new interpretations when framed by a well-meaning daughter frantically trying to preserve her increasingly fragile parents’ independence from 700 miles away.
After leaving Wall Street (in a bit of a huff), Brooke has been singing professionally for 15 years, mostly in classical venues in the Northeast. She regularly performs leading coloratura roles with regional opera companies and has presented french-language cabaret at the old Metropolitan Room. She entertains her West Village neighbors at her frequent salons and also warbles for a seemingly appreciative flock of sheep in the Hudson Valley.
“SCHOOLEY SHINES…her voice expertly trills and soars as her character fauns, cajoles, argues and laughs, sometimes like a comical singing hyena.” Schmopera
“SUCH AN INCREDIBLE VOICE, and the acting chops to go with it. She was a delight…her performance of “Glitter and Be Gay” was out of this world.” Sullivan Valley Democrat
“A MARVELOUS LYRIC AS WELL AS SOARING VOICE.” Times Herald-Record
“VERY BOSSY…really needs to mind her own business.” Brooke’s Parents
