Longer Pieces: Come to the Cabaret

From Columbus Monthly
Come to the cabaret
The inventive folk at Shadowbox Theatre put a little of everything into their cabaret evenings of theater, skits and music, and audience response borders on cultish.

Steve Guyer stands center stage wearing a gigantic sombrero, an ill-fitting serape thrown over his shoulder and an outlandish false handlebar mustache. In his cabaret role as one of the Llama Brothers, he holds a frighteningly massive pair of vise grips just above the crotch of his “brother,” a supine Chris Lynch. He announces, in an intentionally silly Latino accent, that he is about to perform a “llama-dectomy” on his ever-victimized brother. The audience roars with laughter.
