Lee Ross returns to the Café Paradiso stage in Fairfield on Friday, Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m. along with well known local Writer Actor & Producer, Meredith Siemsen.
Ross will be telling his Cirque du Soleil monologue from his time on tour as the lead mime clown overseas in Saltimbanco. Ross, an award-winning screenwriter, had his first feature film, Downloading Nancy, go to Sundance with Maria Bello and Jason Patric. Aside from a half dozen short films, Lee began his career as a stand-up comic in NYC before touring overseas in Australia, Canada and Asia.
This story-versed event will take us back to the roots of spoken word, the simplicity of voice, as we delve into crazy Russian gymnasts, onset movie mayhem, and magical twists in life that you never see coming.
Please arrive early if you want to get a good seat. It's going to be a roller coaster night of storytelling!
