Southland’s Emily Bergl in Kidding On the Square

by Bob Parker on Jun.30, 2010, under Cast

SouthLAnd fans know her as the eccentric Tammi Bryant, wife of detective Sammy Bryant (played by Shawn Hatosy), but Emily Bergl is not to be confused with Tammi. Far from it! Emily is an extremely talented film, television and stage actress who has performed in everything from comedies to dramas. She is also a dedicated humanitarian and activist, spending much of her non-acting time volunteering for organizations like Habitat for Humanity building homes in the USA and around the world, or working with Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic.

Now in her musical debut, Emily brings us Kidding On the Square, a sexy vintage cabaret that invites the audience on a roaring 20s ride through love, heartbreak, and everything in between. Come and enjoy an old fashioned romantic evening told from the perspective of a modern girl and the eccentric characters she inhabits.  Emily Bergl, along with acclaimed musical director and pianist G. Scott Lacy, creates a cabaret world that blends classic Fats Waller and Cole Porter hits with vintage takes on modern favorites from the Scissor Sisters to Madonna.

Kidding On the Square has already played to rave reviews in Chicago and San Diego, with scheduled shows in Los Angeles (Hollywood) , New York City and possibly Atlanta. To stay up to date on all the latest news, you can “Like” the show on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/kiddingonthesquare.

    I first noticed Emily Bergl when she appeared in ‘The Gilmore Girls’ as Rory Gilmore’s sometime high school nemesis. Ms. Bergl was quite memorable to me due to her ability to portray Rory’s comedic evil rival… 
    Thus I recognized her almost immediately portraying Tammi Bryant in the incredibly good drama, SouthLAnd, which is part of the TNT network. New episodes of SouthLAnd will begin to air in January 2011.

    I imagine that Emily Bergl will be a dynamo in this new cabaret show, ‘Kidding On the Square’. Break a leg, Emily!!
