After years of playing well with others—whether singing backup for friends’ shows or crooning alongside a cast of puppet characters—Jennifer Barnhart finally steps into the spotlight in her first solo cabaret, fittingly titled, It’s About Time! Performances will be on two consecutive Sunday evenings at 7:00 PM: March 31st and April 7th, at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. Barnhart will be accompanied by music director Gary Adler, bassist Jim Donica, and percussionist Michael Croiter. There will be special appearances by some Avenue Q residents as well. Directed by Alan Muraoka, the shows are full of stories, silliness and song as Barnhart shares the journey that led her to two of the most famous streets in the world: Broadway and Sesame Street .
Jennifer Barnhart was an original Broadway company member (Outer Critics Circle Award) of Avenue Q, remaining with the show in the role she created for its entire six-year run on Broadway. As a puppeteer, she has performed on numerous children’s television shows, most notably “Between the Lions,” “Bear in the Big Blue House,” “Johnny & the Sprites,” “Julie’s Greenroom (with Julie Andrews, for Netflix) and “Sesame Street.” where she plays Zoe.
