GREENFIELD, MA — The Comedy Project Revue will perform CPR on the public on Thursday, May 22, 7 p.m. at The LAVA Center, 324 Main St., Greenfield. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Gadfly, Andrea CK and improv impresario Henry Balzarini are producers. Christine Benevenuto is the emotional support human for the project.

Featured artists have been crafting their craft since March in the Comedy Project workshops, a project of The LAVA Center:

Singer, songwriter and funny human, Joanie Schwartz will be singing and it will be funny. She also wants to sell your house. You can get her card that evening.

Kate Lewis and Andrea CK will be processing their difficult childhoods in the form of stand-up comedy — because they are still standing!

Marian Kelner will tell her stories of being a Florida Woman (which she barely survived) and then she will be the straight woman (so to speak) in a skit with the esteemed Juliet Seaver. Juliet sometimes loses herself in an eastern European alter-ego with an indiscernible dialect — which Marian will translate for us.

Henry Balzarini will send in Zubinal Ginubi for a beautiful musical number. Henry will also be directing you — yes, you — in some home-made improv.

The show also includes a world premiere short play “Republicans in Human Form,” written and directed by Christine Benvenuto and performed by Shannon Chabot and Vanessa Query. The play is either political satire or science fiction. You decide!

$5–10 suggested donation, and seating is limited! Doors will open at 6:30 p.m, so arrive early to secure your seat! Advance registration is appreciated; email Andrea at andrea@thelavacenter.org.
