Towards the end of October Teatro ZinZanni hosted concierge and other hospitality industry professionals for the Where Magazine Masquerade Party! Masked guests enjoyed cocktails, browsed the Teatro ZinZanni boutique and mixed and mingled with the stars of Beaumount & Caswell, Christine Deaver and Kevin Kent! Check out these fun pictures from the event!
A few weeks ago, Teatro ZinZanni was overrun with ghouls and goblins of all shapes and sizes. Here is a selection of photos from our spooky evening at Teatro ZinZombie!
Mr. and Mrs. Lucifer
A clumsy knife thrower and his assistant.
Mulder and Scully helped keep an eye on things around the tent.

Imagine our surprise when the famous show business couple Vivian Beaumount and Clifton Caswell dropped by the KTZZ studio last week for a spot of coffee and conversation! While they are not currently married, they are excellent friends, bosom buddies, really, and performing together in Beaumount & Caswell at Teatro ZinZanni now through January 17, 2010.
In this 20 minute podcast we learn how this glamorous couple first met, where they were first married, (and where they were married for the fourth time, giving Liz and Dick a real run for their money), and how coffee and kisses are the best way to start each day.
We also learn that Vivian is missing her middle name!
Cliff and Vivie invite you to submit your best (publishable) suggestions for Vivian (fill in the blank) Beaumount – please enter your suggestion here by December 31st and we’ll award the winner with a pair of tickets to the closing night, Sunday, January 17th performance of Beaumount & Caswell, Together Forever… Again! Who knows, Viv and Cliff may even sit down at your table!
As the twilight gathered on Sunday evening, November 1, the exterior of Teatro ZinZanni was aglow in the spangled, twinkling glitter ball light while the sounds of the Hans Teuber combo filled the air. Patrons stepped off the red carpet and inside to our lavishly appointed lobby/boutique to be greeted with warmth, music and laughter and a glass of wine care of our generous wine sponsor, Vinum Wine Importing and Distributing.
Our first ever ZinZanniversary benefit gala celebration was well underway. Over 250 of our closest friends, board members, staffers and performers were on hand to help us raise money for the ZinZanni Institute for Circus Arts. Throughout the night different opportunities were presented as ways to support our education program. We held a silent auction in the lobby and during the entree our emcee extraordinaire, El Vez conducted a raise-the-paddle moment – but not before he did a little fun-raising of his own (those of you who were there know exactly what we mean by that!).
Original cast members Ann Wilson and Dolorèze Léonard joined the cast of Beaumount & Caswell (co-starring original cast member Kevin Kent and comedienne Christine Deaver as well as the awesome Francine Reed) to give the evening an extra special sizzle. Watching Ann Wilson sing in the tent was simply amazing – the girl has some pipes!
All told we raised $75,000 – not bad for our first ever fund raiser event. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us that evening. Thanks too to photographers Michael Doucett, Jonathan Manning and Abara Ijiomafor the lovely photographs.
