Page Sampson's "First Person Singular" Extended at Don't Tell Mama

There are now two more chances to catch Page Sampson's acclaimed show "First Person Singular" at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 1-212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/). Initially presented in May of last year, "First Person Singular" enjoyed a successful return engagement in November and December. That run has now been extended, with performances on Saturday, January 11th at 5:00 pm and Wednesday, January 15th at 6:30 pm. There is a $10 cover and a 2-drink minimum.

Ms. Sampson is once again teamed with MAC and Bistro Award-winning musical director and arranger David Maiocco. Skip Ward is featured on bass and guitar. Ms. Sampson will also welcome a different guest artist at each performance, with Sue Matsuki appearing on January 11th and Joan Crowe on January 15th. Karen Mack, 4-time MAC award winner for performance and songwriting, served as director for the production.

In "First Person Singular" Ms. Sampson presents a mix of standards and contemporary original works, deftly mixing comic numbers with ballads. The evening showcases a wide array of songwriters, including Randy Newman, Johnny Burke & Jimmy Van Heusen, Dar Williams, Marcy Heisler & Zina Goldrich, Donald Fagan, Rodgers & Hammerstein, and Tim DiPasqua. Ms. Sampson also performs an original song of her own, "First Person Singular," which aptly lends its name for the title and which helped to provide the initial inspiration for the show (lyrics by Ms. Sampson, music by Ms. Sampson & Mr. Maiocco).

Page Sampson has been active in cabaret since 1999. In addition to "First Person Singular," she has performed in a number of showcases and revues at Don't Tell Mama and The Duplex, and as a guest artist for shows such as "Courtney Loves Comedy" and "The Poole Party." On January 25th she will make a guest appearance in Tommy Femia's "Judy Garland Live!" Ms. Sampson was born and raised in Westminster, Massachusetts, a small town 50 miles west of Boston. She attended Middlebury College, and upon graduation moved to New York City, where she worked for many years in the field of arts administration. She now lives in Glen Ridge, New Jersey with her husband, WBGO-FM news anchor Andrew Meyer.
