This is a seated show.

Jen Farley is fluffing up her feathers and polishing her sequins. She’s ready to sashay into the heady world of cabarets, with not only her next plunge into the bawdy and bodacious art form, but also her first solo endeavor. But wait a minute. Who is Jen Farley, you might be wondering, and what does she know about cabaret? We’ll let her answer that one.
“I’m about to shower my audience with a fun, authentic and hilarious show,” she says. “Why else would you come see a white, middle-age, midwestern Jewish woman perform? Oh, and yes, there will be boas.”  
Jen Farley’s foray into cabarets is titled Lessons in Love. But don’t worry, she’s not about to bore you with one sappy, syrupy number after the other. Jen is stitching together all the threads of love – love for self, love for partner, love for child, love for friends, loss of love, and everything in between – through songs by Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, and the Beatles. She’s going to Broadway, to the local disco, and to the jazzy standards bar. There will be no lovelorn stone unturned.
Jen is a wife and mother. She’s also one-third of acclaimed power trio Gin, Chocolate & Bottle Rockets, whose tightly woven harmonies have been compared to Wilson Phillips and Wailin’ Jennys. Plus, how could we forget yet another side project as one-half of The Farleys with husband Mike. In
addition to all of that, Jen Farley is also a life coach, speaker, and consultant with a mission to “help dreamers and seekers find and define their authentic voice to become the Rockstar in their lives.”
This Rockstar has her roots in theater. While growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, Jen found her artistic calling while performing in musical theater productions. That thirst for theater has, essentially, come full circle. Lessons in Love, which she likes to dub “A Very Jen Cabaret,” brings this multifaceted lady back home with boas in tow.
