Hold on to your seats people, because this week we have one of the greatest Unusual Creatures of all. Our guest is the human embodiment of what it means to be a creative vessel. She has seen and done it before anyone else, and in the grandest of diva fashions. Dear audience, take some time to meet... the brilliant and larger than life... Ms. Joyce Beauvais.

Joyce Beauvais, a master of  theatre and comedy, lived in New York, New York  performing in hundreds of shows for twenty-nine years.  About nine years ago, she found a new home in Niantic, along the shoreline of Southeastern Connecticut. She develops local talent of adults who previously acted while in school, or any adult who has a passion for theatre and has dreamed of being a part of it.  As an equity actor Ms. Beauvais worked with some of the best and brightest in the theatre world, performing under the bright lights in the Big Apple.  In NYC, she also ran Chez Beauvais Restaurant and Cabaret where, along with friend Ronny Whyte and partner, Uber agent, Jack Rollins, she highlighted the greatest of Jazz talent and introduced young artists who have blossomed into jazz stars.  She operated Chez Beauvais from 1986-1991.  As well as producing and directing off and on Broadway.

The lights are still bright for Ms. Beauvais, and she still sparkles like the stars, but under new and different venues.

In all honesty, this is really the episode to listen and learn about what it means to hone and perfect a craft. Being an artist is hard, but when it calls you, you can't hang up. And it can be a rip roaring good time, in between all the trauma. So grab a refreshment and be dazzled.
