Misters and Sisters - A Love Story in Song and Dance at Oberon

Misters and Sisters ─ A Love Story in Song and Dance received raves and performed to sold-out houses at Joe's Pub this past summer. Misters and Sisters: Part One was a great hit when presented by Summer Stages Dance as a work in progress during the 2010 summer performance series in Concord, MA. This latest work by and about David Parker and Jeffrey Kazin and their performing alter egos, represents a new way of working for Parker. The show ─ a kind of autobiographical fiction ─ is inspired by and dedicated to Parker’s late father, mystery novelist Robert B. Parker, whose words “Don’t look for yourself in your work, look for your work in yourself,” Parker pays homage to here. Parker and Kazin, joined by Nic Petry and Amber Sloan, cut a swath through an array of romantic standards from the American songbook as they chronicle their life together in song and dance. Misters and Sisters includes dramaturgy by Anne Davison and musical direction by Anna Ebbeson.
