Wine and appetizer plates will be available for purchase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">SVCA Performing Arts Director Kristine Bretall said she looked for a cabaret act to bring to the community for some time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cI\u2019ve been wanting to find the right fit for the Valley \u2013 her vocal quality, humor and the stories she weaves in are a perfect fit for the Valley,\u201d Bretall said. \u201cShe\u2019s also worked with kids and will visit the schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Earlier this year, Matthews\u2019 cabaret \u201cFull Dark\u201d was named Best Cabaret Performance of 2015 by broadwayworld.com, and in 2011 her show was named Best of Show at the massive Edinburgh Fringe Fest in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cI had a lot of good musical theatre experience before I was 25 years old,\u201d Matthews said. \u201cI always got work. But I wasn\u2019t getting what I wanted. There wasn\u2019t a lot of diversity or depth. I had more to say and I wanted to say it with all the different songs that I loved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Most cabaret shows feature the \u201cGreat American Songbook\u201d oeuvre, but Matthews goes a step further.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cIt\u2019s a rock \u2019n\u2018 roll show with comedy,\u201d she said. \u201cA little like Bette Midler mixed with Jack Black. I\u2019m goofy. People feel surprisingly involved. The music I pick and the stories I tell are poignant for me, but they\u2019re universal. That\u2019s what I love about cabaret. It breaks the fourth wall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">For tickets visit www.sunvalleycenter.org or call (208) 726-9491.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sharron Matthews comes to Ketchum BY DANA DUGAN and YANNA LANTZ The Sun Valley Center for the Arts will present \u201cSuperstar\u201d with Sharron Matthews, an award-winning cabaret performer from Stratford, Ontario, Canada, at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16.
