Performance Mania
Cheerio! I hope everyone is doing well! All good on this end! Chase is turning 1 (!) in two weeks and we are having so much fun with him! Here’s a quick writing/performance update: I am submitting three pieces for young audiences to the 2012 Fringe Jr. Festival, here in NYC, which is part of the Fringe. I had the amazing Dina Pruzhansky transcribe my musical ideas for one of the musicals and she rocked the house on the project. Stuart McMeans, who is fsbulous had already done the same for another of the plays so I had great help with my ideas!! I will keep you posted on whether any of the works get accepted! It would be wonderful to share my plays and musicals with kids, rather than just sitting in my laptop files! Still collaborating daily with the fun and talented Ben Rauch…lots of songs coming soon. I recorded two more spots (one TV, one radio) for Alaska Mc Donalds last week, which means I currently have 4 Micky D spots running there! Thanks Ronald Mc Donald! I sang in an unbelievable concert at Carnegie Hall with my choir, Melodia and another wonderful choir, The Stonewall Chorale. It was a benefit for the American Cancer Society hosted by Julie Andrews and Donald Trump (what a pair!). I got very choked up singing ‘Climb Ev’ry Mountain’ with 70 voices on that stage for that cause. Magical. I performed my song, ‘I’ve Got a Sweet Tooth for my Dentist’ at Forbidden Kiss at Stage Left Studio last night. A video by Marisa Bramwell will be up shortly (maybe on my FB page). Tamar Vezirian and I will be debuting our yenta characters, Fanny and Phyllis, The Bar Mitzvah Critics at a youth hostel on 103rd and Amsterdam at 8pm this coming Wednesday, Jan. 25th. We will also be performing again (material TBD) at Identity Theft: Celebrity Edition this Thursday at the Luca Lounge at 7pm. It’s on 13th and B and is hosted by the hilarious Jenn Dodd. Ya know, I thought I’d slow down in January but if anything, I’m doing even more. I am so inspired by Chase and Steve and so lucky to have such special friends and family that my cup runneth over with inspiration! Yay!
