Flight of Swallows

March 17th, 7 Stages Theatre debuts a variety show for the 21st century. Jon Waterhouse’s Wang Dang Doodle Variety Talk Show takes the classic variety format and spikes it with contemporary craziness.

Think “The Tonight Show” meets “The Gong Show” without the gong. Jon Waterhouse, a regular entertainment journalist for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and radio personality on AM 1690, The Voice of the Arts, wrangles the evening.

The premiere installment of Wang Dang Doodle will feature:

• Dave Stone - Acclaimed stand-up comic and co-founding member of The Beards of Comedy Tour.
• The Booze - This band rocks equal parts British Invasion, Chess-era blues and hook-laden ’60s pop.
• Tim Monteith - Delivers a bizarre mix of puppetry, lip synch, dance and drag.
• Flight of Swallows - Circus aerial artistry meets live musical accompaniment.
• Danger Woman - The self-proclaimed Karaoke Songbird of Justice uses her Tiny Tim-inspired voice to rattle the eardrums of bad guys across the universe.
• Brad McGinty - Presents an original animated short.
• Celeste Miller – Atlanta legendary “talking dancer” premiers her new piece The Annunciation…sort of: Mary says “No" at 7 Stages March 24 – 28, 2010.
• The Little Five Points Rock Star Orchestra plugs in as the house band.
