Joan is quickly establishing
herself as a top cabaret performer in Chicago. Her last show at Davenports
in July, 2000 was to sell out audiences. GAY CHICAGO'S Jeff Rosen
described Joan as a "confident performer who possesses a strong voice
and has no problem relaxing into a song and playing the moment." This
past year, Joan was selected to attend the Eugene O'Neill Theater
Center Cabaret Symposium in Waterford, Connecticut where she studied
with master teachers Julie Wilson, Margaret Whiting and other cabaret
greats.
In November 2000, Joan
performed in the Humanities Festival, appearing in the "Songwriters
Now!" Concert along with Amanda McBroom, Stephen Schwartz, Craig Carnelia,
Babbie Green and other national composers as well as Chicago based
performers. Audiences will remember her many featured performances
in "Season of Concern" benefits throughout the Chicagoland area.
