"Two singer-songwriters sit on the edge of a cliff…"

With these words, we are drawn into the world of Both Sides Now—a theatrical concert that explores the music and lives of long-time friends and one-time lovers, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. Created by and starring Robbie Schaefer and Danielle Wertz, the cabaret-style performance traverses decades alongside songs such as "A Case of You," "Hallelujah," "Big Yellow Taxi," "Suzanne," and many more. Both Sides Now is at once a piece of the 60s and 70s, and of right now—offering us a story about the messiness of being human, of lives persistently lived at the edge of growth, and of finding the courage to turn toward one another, again and again.

Robbie Schaefer is a rabbi, singer-songwriter and theatre/film artist. The guitarist and songwriter for the indie folk band Eddie From Ohio has several solo releases as well, including the 2023 single "Under the Sun." He is the founder of Lamplighters, an online community that cultivates small-batch, relationship-driven, inclusive Judaism.

Danielle Wertz is a storyteller, collaborator, jazz musician, composer and arranger. Her voice—described by DownBeat Magazine as "evocative… remarkably intimate, expressive and poignant"—has earned her an international following as a jazz artist and growing recognition across disciplines.
