Gia Mora Brings EINSTEIN'S GIRL to Bethesda Blues & Jazz, 4/13

Nationally recognized actor and vocalist Gia Mora announces the east coast premiere of her newest solo show, Einstein's Girl. The show will play for one night only on Saturday, April 13, at 8pm at the recently opened Bethesda Blues & Jazz in Bethesda, Maryland. Bethesda Blues & Jazz is located at 7719 Wisconsin Avenue, just three blocks north of the Bethesda Metro Red Line Station.

Einstein's Girl explores the "science of love... theoretically speaking." Mora turns her signature wit and intellectual prowess on an unlikely pair of human languages: love and mathematics. In her hilarious show, she investigates interpersonal relations in the digital age through song and story. Composer and multi-instrumentalist Charlie Barnett will accompany Mora on piano.

Jennifer Ouelette of Scientific American's Cocktail Party Physics raved of the show's debut, "The Divine Miz Mora's bubbly energy was on full display, along with her impressive four-octave range and an unapologetic sex appeal...a 'wanna-be theoretical physicist.' With a killer set of pipes."

Mora brings a twenty-first century twist to the art of cabaret, combining original music, standards, stand-up comedy and a crash course in cutting edge science. "I've always loved the intersection of art and science," muses Mora. "This new show aims to tear down fears that mathematics is only for an elite group of academics. Physics is all around us, and learning while laughing makes it all the more memorable."

Gia Mora is a triple-threat performer and writer. Past solo performances include headlining at The Gardenia and House of Blues in Los Angeles; Black Fox Lounge and Blues Alley in Washington, DC; An Die Musik and Germano's in Baltimore; and Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret in Denver. A frequent featured soloist, she has appeared at The Federal, Catalina Jazz Club, The Blind Barber in Los Angeles and many more.
