2/18 Kenward Elmslie with Steven Taylor

Kenward Elmslie with Steven Taylor, music

Saturday February 18th

7:30 pm @ Knuth Hall
Creative Arts Building, SFSU, $10 ($5 students)

Kenward Elmslie appears in live performance in the sumptuous Knuth Hall music-theater at San Francisco State U., presenting a Retrospective Evening of Original Poetry and Song, accompanied by non pareil musical maestro Steven Taylor.

For four decades, Mr. Elmslie and his body of works (as librettist for Truman Capote's The Grass Harp, Strindberg's Miss Julie, Chekhov's The Seagull, et al., to poetry & song revues Postcards on Parade, 26 Bars, Lingoland) have graced stages Broadway to Bouwerie and Way Beyond. Elmslie's an adept at thrilling discerning audiences with his extraordinarily sui generis mixmaster wit, ultra-camp/vamp presence, and cryptic dark-flecked joys, bending all poetic means to previously unwitnessable music-theatrical heights. Do not miss this exciting evening! And pleeease, why not treat yourself with a visit (in advance of Big Night Out) to kenwardelmslie.com?
