Acclaimed filmmaker Gigi Gaston's Room 105 - a new musical show starring Grammy - nominated Sophie B. Hawkins
- is a thoughtful and entertaining tribute to legendary soul singer
Janis Joplin. The show is a humorous, engaging, bittersweet, intimate
and honest musical confessional. Janis brings the audience into her
world and her life, and teases viewers about aspects of modern day pop
culture, of which she is privy. A modern-day retrospective on Joplin's
turbulent life, telling a story that reveals the iconic singer's
thoughts on love, sex, fame and belonging. The show will premiere on
October 4, the very night of the anniversary of Janis Joplin's
death, at the Macha Theatre--blocks away from Barney's Beanery where she
had her last drink before her untimely death, joining the infamous 27
club.
