As a singer, Barkan has toured the world with pop/glam band the Scissor Sisters, opening for Lady Gaga, sung with Lily Allen, and recorded with legendary house DJ and producer Todd Terry in addition to releasing her own albums and singles.

About the Show

 

It's a story of love and finding love…

The Dear Stranger I Love You campaign makes you think about love in another way. In 2016, Bridget Barkan's new show "Dear Stranger, I Love You" was presented at the A.R.T Oberon in Cambridge and now has a residency at The PIT Underground in NYC.

Barkan shows her chops with genre-bending shows that employ both her love of song, character building and storytelling. Not only a shape shifter with accents and body language, she is also a vocal chameleon seamlessly riffing her way through jazz, soul, R&B, folk, electronic and traditional musical theatre songs. Some have said she is like the secret child of Cindy Sherman and John Waters, raised by the ghost of Janis Joplin.

Love is a universal language. It is something that can completely connect all of us in the times of insanity. Strangers are reflection. They are the mirror to ourselves and direct us to self-awareness. Barkan tells a story of how her life make connections to various strangers, which leads us back to understand self-love and universal love.
