You don’t have to dole out big bucks at a major theater to see live entertainment this weekend. A Pocket Chatauqua is a vaudeville-style variety show performed in a small, intimate setting where audience members’ smiles might fill the unamplified room. “All five of this evening’s artists are quite comfortable performing in very big halls,” says co-organizer Tim Jennings. “But there’s … a kind of connection you can only get when your audience is literally close enough to touch.” Jennings and Leanne Ponder, both seasoned storytellers, host this country cabaret, featuring Modern Times Theater’s Rose Friedman and Justin Lander (pictured) and Marcel Marceau-trained mime Rob Mermin.
