Vampingo Productions presents: VANJARI: The Mother/Daughter Cabaret! Starring Evangeline Johns and Ariana Johns in MIXED BAGS, on Sunday, July 8th at 4:00 PM at Don’t Tell Mama. Musical Direction is by Darryl Curry and staging is by Max McGuire and Mark Mindek. In this new show, the Johns take the audience on a generational romp from the Blues to Blondie to Broadway—it’s a tug-of-war on the umbilical ‘chord’…because the apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree!
Evangeline began performing in the Copacabana chorus line—then came summer stock and regional theatre, followed by experimental theatre with Laurie Carlos, Suzan-Lori Parks and many others. She performed Off-Broadway and toured in the solo show Late Night Catechism. In 2017, she joined lyricist Ariana Johns and composer Darryl Curry in the premiere of the new musical, Buzz, Son of a Bee—An Actor’s Life for Me. She recently completed an encore performance of her cabaret, Radio Songs, in which Ariana joined her for some duets—sparking such audience enthusiasm that VANJARI was born.
Ariana has performed with Darryl Curry in her cabaret series, The Dreamers Guide to the Galaxy. They are currently creating a new musical, A Stroll with Troll, selected by the Dramatist’s Guild Foundation for a reading in the Women’s Voices Theatre Festival, where Ariana was one of three featured playwrights. She began in comedy/improv with Chicago City Limits, and she’s performed her solo show, Vampingo— A Comedy with Bite on both coasts. Musical performances include new works at The National Opera Center, The Metropolitan Room and the Musical Theatre Factory.
