SUMMARY:Balladir Presents: Remember Clarisse McClellan
DESCRIPTION:Balladir proudly presents its newest touring show: Remember Clarisse McClellan\, an immersive\nfolk-theatre concert that intertwines original music\, theatrical storytelling\, puppetry\, vaudeville-inspired comedy\, and audience participation. Organized into three acts framed by the words of three historical figures who were persecuted for defying convention\, Remember Clarisse McClellan unfolds as a series of interconnected musical and theatrical vignettes that blend satire and heartfelt reflection. It explores the importance of creative expression\, love\, and the enduring value of questioning the world around us. Led by music educators Travis Puntarelli (guitar\, piano\, vox) and Bexx Rosenbloom (cello\, percussion\, glockenspiel\, vox)\, Balladir’s engaging performances feature rich harmonies and tightly crafted arrangements that are delightfully unpredictable and unlike anything else.\n\nAbout the artists:\n\nTravis Puntarelli has spent over two decades weaving folk traditions\, experimental performance\, and narrative craft into modern chamber-folk theater. He brings a bardic presence to both classrooms and stages\, blending scholarship with sincerity and humor. Travis now directs the Songbirds folk music program in Southern Oregon\, composes music for The Emerald Podcast\, and tours regionally with Balladir.\n\nBexx Rosenbloom is a vocalist\, multi-instrumentalist\, dancer\, puppeteer and enthusiastic instigator of goofball antics whose style blends musical rigor with playful theatricality. She brings a wide-ranging musical sensibility to the stage\, drawing on a Master’s in Musicology\, classical voice training\, and a plethora of a cappella experience. Beyond Balladir\, she is deeply invested as a community organizer of regional festivals and as a partner of the worker-owned cooperative\, Groupmuse.\n\nhttps://storytownashland.com/events/balladir-presents-remember-clarisse-mcclellan
