These Are The Songs That I Sing When I’m Sad is an intimate and joyous performance for one singer and an audience gathered around her piano. It explores the songs people turn to when they’re sad, the songs that they play to soothe their blues or lift them up out of the depths. Jane sings and tells stories about songs that play this role in her own life, and then invites the audience to share the songs that they sing (or play or listen to) when they’re sad. It’s a rare opportunity to hear a superb singer up close and personal as she delves into the link between deep emotions and the musical elements that make sad songs so addictive.

“This unique performance explores the music that we turn to when we are sad, and the songs that can bring us back from the depths of despair – but also the reasons why music has such a profound effect on the human experience. Each person’s relationship to memory and music is unique, and yet there are also songs that universally provoke the same response. This show is a fabulous evening of music, memory, and sharing that has the audiences leaving the theatre each night with a new found sense of community built through shared experience – and a fabulous new playlist of music to support them the next time the emotional rain clouds roll in.”
– Heather Cant, Artistic Director
