Strength from the Undertow: An Evening of Cabaret with Sarah

Off the Wall Comedy Basement presents “Strength from the Undertow”: An Evening of Cabaret with Sarah “BlonDDi” Fortman.

She has been studying voice in the styles of cantorial music,opera, and musical theatre since she was eight years old and in recentyears has added her love of jazz and rock to her repetoire. Right now,Sarah is studying at the WUJS-Arts program in Jerusalem, and can befound most Tuesday nights performing at Off the Wall’s Open Mic Nite.Not sure about what her future holds just yet, but she is certain thatmusic and the rest of the arts will play a major role in whatever is tocome. The title “Strength from the Undertow” is inspired by lifeand the many challenges she throws our way daily. The determination andwill to overcome these obstacles, choosing to grow and progress intomore evolved people from seemingly negative experiences and insteadlooking at them as positive potential growing experiences is the waySarah has always chosen to live her life. Throughout the show, this isthe common theme among the music you will hear: “strength frompositivity.” As the water seems to rush over you, dragging you down,you instead choose to focus on the current as it lifts you up for air,finding the strength in your arms to carry you to shore.
