"An Evening with Sandra Bernhard" comes to the Colony Theater

Sandra Bernhard will perform at the Colony Theater on Lincoln Road on Saturday July 28th at 7:30pm and 10pm. "An Evening with Sandra Bernhard" includes comedy, commentary, and music, and Bernhard will appear with musical director/pianist, Mitch Kaplan and her band.

A portion of the proceeds from these two performances will benefit Switchboard of Miami's GLBT Suicide Awareness Initiative.

Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster.com on May 1st.

Bernhard's last show, "Hero Worship," featured a five-piece band and was a post September 11th tribute to Bernhard's commitment to irony - that it, too, had survived that day. The show featured a range of musical numbers (some original and some covers). It was an attempt to show that life must continue and the show must go on. Other notable performances include her participation in the "Stormy Weather Benefit '98," organized by Don Henley, which also featured Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell, as well as "The Elton John Tribute for Broadway Cares."

Her 1998, one-woman Broadway hit, "I'm Still Here Damn It!" garnered ecstatic reviews. The New York Times called Bernhard's performance "an angst driven, foul-mouthed poison-laced joy ride that banks and careens frenetically through the worlds of fashion, celebrity, rock, and religion. In her own voice, unfiltered, Bernhard is a living, breathing bonfire."

Throughout her career, Bernhard's formidable presence has also had a place on television, and along with writing for performance, Bernhard has put her musings into book form. Currently working on her fourth collection, her books, just as her shows, are full of personal insights, introspective rants, prose and essays. Her work has also appeared in numerous magazines, including The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Conde Nast Traveler, Rolling Stone, Interview, Spy, Elle and Allure.
