Jamail Salvatore (Performer)
Hello Family, Friends & Everyone between. I am very delighted to be in Pacifica Spindrift Players virtual cabaret this Summer of 2021. Coming from such a wreck of the past year, Covid-19 derailed many of our hopes, dreams and motivation to do much of anything. When asked to perform a song with my Best friend, I had to jump at the opportunity to help inspire myself and those around me. The song “Home” from The Wiz we felt was very fitting for the time and we hope that no matter where you are in life home can be wherever the heart is. Other shows I’ve been in include “Groundhog Day the Musical” at SF Playhouse, “RENT” at PCRT (Pacific Coast Repertory Theater) in Pleasanton, “Smokey Joes Cafe” at Town Hall Theatre in Lafayette. I hope this cabaret ignites the magic and fire of musical theatre in you, that it has in me.
