Scott Clinkscales, an award-winning Performer, Choreographer, Musical and Artistic Director with many of the pre-eminent theatres in both the Morongo Basin and greater Coachella Valley proudly announces his one man show: MY LIFE SO FAR THROUGH SONG – A COMING OF AGE CABARET, is coming to Theatre 29 for one weekend only, August 6 & 7 at 7:00PM.
Scott says, “My Life So Far Through Song, it’s a coming-of-age cabaret talking about my life and what I have gone through to get to where I am now. During the pandemic, I took time to actually reflect on my life and how even though I remember a lot of the great times and people I have met, not everything was perfect.” Staged with Clinkscales backlit with rear screen projections, including photos and old home movies, to illustrate the course of the story of his life, so far.
“From a young age I’ve always loved performing and singing.” The performer says,” I always had a dream or goal on the horizon. Many times, I would doubt myself or hear things from other people that were completely discouraging and made me feel like I couldn’t do anything. This show talks about all those low points and how I tried to overcome them. The main theme is doubt. Self-doubt, others doubting your capabilities”
