The Millibo Art Theatre presents
direct from New York City
“Velvet Determination”
with Cynthia Shaw
In this charming, music-filled 60-minute solo show, Cynthia creates over ten characters including her piano teachers: her kindly childhood teacher, her University of Denver teacher who opens up her eyes to the world of New York and her formidable first NY piano teacher. Throughout the show, she’ll play the piano music of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, and Schubert.
Whether playing pretentious urban socialites, Salvation Army majors, or chattering old women on the crosstown bus, Shaw gives each of her characters a charming and often humorous flair that always sells the scene. Even her villains have a charismatic allure that keeps you smiling and wanting more.
Every story Shaw tells rings with authenticity and honesty. That is a prerequisite for any autobiographical performance, to be sure, but Shaw has a beautiful way of recapturing her own youthful exuberance that keeps the work light yet sincere.
Cynthia enjoyed her childhood of piano lessons and music-making in Pueblo, Colorado, but she had bigger dreams – moving to New York to attend the esteemed Manhattan School of Music. Getting there was a bit more difficult than she expected. As she struggles with her self-sabotaging demons, shaky memorization, and insufficient technique, she masters a falling piano, a sweltering practice room, a music-hating neighbor, a condescending teacher and other obstacles that confront a young Colorado classical pianist who has decided to tackle the Big Apple!
