Francis Garner - Miss. Otis Regrets
Emerging cabaret artist, Francis Garner, has been applauded on Boston stages (Club Cafe), Provincetown (Post Office Cafe and Cabaret), New Bedford (The Gallery Bar), and New York City (Don’t Tell Mama, PANGEA). Critic John Amodeo described him as “one of the Boston-area’s most promising performers.” Cabaret Scenes Magazine admired his show “Over The Hill: Dating Gay Over 30” as “wonderfully creepy and marvelously theatrical.” Lavender After Dark also commended this work, noting “for the most part, Garner alternates between two personas throughout the show…the two parts of Garner’s persona are unified by one thing: talent.”
Garner delivers his new show “Miss Otis Regrets,” taking its title from the classic Cole Porter song by the same name. This captivating, one-hour-one-man musical is a dark comedy styled after both 1950’s-era radio broadcasts and modern-day podcasts, exemplifying the Mark Twain adage “history doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes.” Timed to perform coinciding with the Boston Pride Festival, this show embraces a celebration of progress in the face of societal oppression.
