Digital Program
Thank you for attending tonight's performance of Bottoms Up!
This is a 45-minute show with no intermission
A few things to note:
-
Please make sure to pick up a cup at the door, as you will be asked to "toast" throughout the evening! This show is most often performed on cruise ships where drinks are served inside the venue itself, so raise your (empty) glasses high when prompted! (No actual food or drink is allowed in the theater this evening.)
-
This performance will be filmed and photographed for promotional purposes, but no audience members' faces will be in frame, gorgeous though you all are. However, these are some of my favorite songs to perform, and I do want to hear you out there! Feel free to sing, laugh, clap, boogie, chee hoo, and shimmy to your heart's content.
-
Tonight's performance is free to attend, but if you are compelled to donate, you are of course welcome to! You can do so through Venmo or CashApp, or tossing crumpled singles directly onto the stage. 😉

Locally, Barrie has appeared at Diamond Head Theater as a Wicked Stepsister in Cinderella, as a therapist and an entitled horror movie victim as part of the Hawai'i Comedy Festival, and as a Hawaiian wedding singer at multiple weddings in hotels throughout Waikiki.
Barrie wishes to thank Farrington High School and Miguel Cadoy III for their help in making tonight a reality, as well as Rachel (lights) and Emma (sound/video) and the deck crew for all their hard work.
