Hi all! I'm in a performance this Sunday that includes a moment where I appear in the guise of a radio announcer from the 1940's. I'd love to be wearing a pair of chunky, retro-looking (i.e. not swooshy and modern, no neon colours) headphones. Ideally, the kind with only one earpiece. Basic black, I'm assuming. Anyone have something like that kicking around - and which they would be willing to loan me for one day? If so, let me know. I can pick 'em up, of course. Oh, and the show details are here: http://adamabrams ...Continue Reading

February 13th, 2008 Hi everyone! I’ve finally received the outstanding video* of last December’s Broadway Chorus show, “Anne Murray of Green Gables”. And that means I can share some choice clips with you! I’ve posted five, two of which feature my fellow performers: Yvonne Connors, Chris Hall, Gil Jaysmith and Danielle Lemon. Plus, of course, some choice highlights of my own, including a peek at my hosting duties for “PEI Idol”, my scene and duet with “Mrs. Partridge”, and my cameo as Bob Dylan in the Celebrity Orphan ...Continue Reading

Hi there! I'm writing to ask if you or anyone you know might be interested in participating in an entertaining cabaret evening being planned by Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter to honour their 30th year. It will take place from 6 to 10 pm on Saturday, March 8, at the Hycroft Manor, home of the UBC Women's Club - an elegant house built in 1911. Taking their cue from this great setting, the theme of the evening is intended to center around feminism in the early part of the 20th century. But lest that give th ...Continue Reading

February 1st, 2008 Welcome to a revamped version of my newsletter! Some slight design tweaks on the surface conceal a much more thorough under-the-hood revamping that will allow me to send out these updates much more easily… easier than falling off a (b)log! OK, enough bad jokes. Onward to the recent posts, including *a photo of mine appearing in this week’s Georgia Straight*… plus some Community Cable videos that are seeing the light of day after more than 10 years (!) gathering dust in my VHS archives, including my ...Continue Reading

Hi everyone! I'm involved with the production of an upcoming play at the Waterfront Theatre, and as a result I've been thrown in with a spirited and motley gang of creative and resourceful folks. And right now, our collective resourcefulness is being put to the test. A significant part of the play ("Poor Super Man") is a series of words and phrases that appear above the stage at key moments. There's only one small catch: we don't have a projector. And holding up flash cards like in the old Bob Dylan video ju ...Continue Reading

Hi all! I'm forwarding this letter from the president of the Pantages Theatre Arts Society - I trust it will be of interest to many of you. Time to get out the old writing paper (yes, superior to email in this case!) and let City Hall know how much support there is for restoring this beautiful, historic theatre. Feel free of course to pass along this message! Adam ------------------------------------ Dear Friends: January 6 marks the Centennial of the opening of Vancouver's Pantages Theatre. One century ago, it sto ...Continue Reading

Hi everybody! For the third year running, I'm attempting to bring a little "something extra" to my sidewalk fundraising for Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter in December: getting a group together to sing holiday carols. I first tried this in 2005 with members of The Broadway Chorus, and it was great fun and very successful. Then last year we had an even bigger group. A jolly time was had by all, and a record amount was raised for Vancouver Rape Relief, which operates a safe house for women escaping v ...Continue Reading
