About JBKO, a One-Woman play by TOM SANTOPIETRO starring YO YOUNGER
JBKO
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. The most famous woman in the world. The woman everyone thought they knew- yet no one did. Until now.
Written by national best selling author (The Sound of Music Story) Tom Santopietro, JBKO delivers a fascinating, witty, and moving portrait of the woman behind the myth.
From the marriage to John F. Kennedy and the tragedy in Dallas, to the jet setting marriage to Aristotle Onassis and the surprising late in life return to the workplace- it’s all here in a tour de force portrait that reveals the flesh and blood real life woman known as ‘America’s Queen.’
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis: Inquiring photographer, first lady, mother, wife of Aristotle Onassis, book editor- she was famously private, rejected nearly all requests for interviews, yet remained the most famous woman in the world Filling many roles in her lifetime, she kept us watching and wondering through each incarnation.
JBKO, then, grew out of Tom Santopietro's attempt to answer the ongoing question we ask about all celebrities: what was she really like? We all form our own ideas as to the answer.
This is Mr. Sontopietro's answer.
Revolution Stage Company
Created by GARY POWERS & JAMES OWENS in 2023, the REVOLUTON STAGE COMPANY is Palm Springs' newest, most-innovative theatre company, trying to replicate the best of New York City's Off-Broadway venues and London's West End theatrical gems. During its first season, the RSC presented over 225 performances on its stage; another 200 during its second season. Now entering its most-exciting third season, the REVOLUTION is committed to making the Coachella Valley a ‘theatrical destination’' complimenting this vacation paradise's world-famous reputation, aligning itself with Palm Springs' goal of making the city a ‘cultural destination.’ With affordably-priced tickets, comfortable cushioned seating, a complete liquor bar, plus ice cream (an homage to London's West End), the RSC uses local talent, showcasing new faces, to produce some of the finest theatrical work seen in the Valley, something which has been enthusiastically-embraced.
