Susan Haskins-Doloff Theater Talk.

Returning to the room where he first came to La MaMa fifty years ago, Don Arrington and company perform a lifetime of his comic and moving tunes, celebrating the unique East Village characters he has inherited.
“Had Enuf of the Blues, Cabaret on the Verge,” a lifetime of Don Arrington's cabaret and musical theater music, is a hilarious and moving celebration of the many characters, many of the East Village who have inspire his work: the broken, the other, ridiculed, ostracized, bullied, who, nonetheless, have the tenacity to continue to seek justice, compassion and love on this azure, spinning sphere.
Don Arrington, recipient of the Acker Award, Meet the Composer Grants, and numerous critical accolades, has been a mainstay of the experimental theater scene since the 1970's, with productions of his work and performances, over the years at La MaMa, The WPA (Bowery), The NY Shakespeare Festival, Delacorte, Theater for the New City, Reno Sweeney, Riverside Church and Pangea Cabaret.
