Lynn Trefzger is a ventriloquist/comedienne with a trunk full of zany characters that accompany her to stages throughout the country — and the State University of New York at Fredonia will be among her stops.
The Kaleidoscope Family Series at Rockefeller Arts Center will present “The Vocal Illusions of Lynn Trefzger” on Friday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. The show is approximately 60 minutes long and recommended for children age 6 and up, as well as parents and grandparents.
Jefferson Westwood, director of Rockefeller Arts Center, booked the show after seeing a showcase presentation by Trefzger in Pittsburgh last year.
“You don’t have to have kids to enjoy this show,” he said. “It truly has universal age appeal.”
And audience members should keep one fact in mind – your voice is not necessarily your own when you’re at Lynn Trefzger’s show. You could find yourself next to a rather obnoxious camel or with a new baby you didn’t even realize you had.
Trefzger is known for her off-the-wall audience interplay that is described as “riotously funny.” Her performance will be tailored for family audiences, making for an evening that will be lively and fun for children and adults alike.
As the Courier Post in Atlantic City, N.J. said, “Trefzger is an excellent technician and a bright, inventive comedian…the result is a gem of a routine…a first rate entertainer!”
In 2006, she was named the “Funniest Female Performer of the Year” by Campus Activities Magazine, based on the votes of thousands of college students nationwide.
Her vocal illusion talents were first brought to national audiences on TV’s popular Star Search and she has since performed with artists including Jeff Foxworthy, Ray Romano, The Smothers Brothers and Drew Carey. Trefzger has also appeared on ABC, TNN, A&E and Lifetime television.
Trefzger’s special performances include The Duke Children’s Classic – Duke Hospital Celebrity Golf Classic with Jeff Foxworthy as its chairman. She was invited back for a return engagement this year. Thousands of dollars were raised to support the Duke’s Children Hospital. She also enjoys performing aboard the Disney Cruise Lines, at Atlantis Resort & Casino, performing arts centers and at numerous corporate and university engagements.
