One of my sisters and her husband helped write and produce a musical comedy show called “The Watercoolers”. They now have an entire business structured around this show, which has become quite a family affair as another sister and my brother have gotten involved. I’ll let them describe it for you:
People like to talk about themselves. They also love to hear stories about experiences familiar to them. The famous theme song from Cheers said it best, “Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name.” The Water Coolers take that concept, add hilarious comedy, original music and parodies of familiar songs, and use NYC comics and singers to celebrate the crazy, funny, maddening and yet somehow universally comforting insanity of every day life. The Water Coolers created the act originally for the meetings industry but, since our Off Broadway run in 2002, The Water Coolers has found an enthusiastic and devoted audience in the mainstream entertainment world.*
Recently, they were nominated for (and won!) the Event Solutions Spotlight Award for Entertainment of the Year. My brother-in-law shot this entertaining footage of the award. It illustrates what I’ve talked about many times on this blog: the power of thinking positively and having the right attitude.
Congratulations to my sister and brother-in-law and all the members of the Watercoolers!
