Ms. Hollander said, "I've so enjoyed inspiring my students and imparting to them all that I have learned as well as provided performance opportunities in the two musicals and one play that I produce and direct every year at the school.  However, I was blessed with a singing voice, and it's important for me to make time for me to perform.  And that's why I'm doing this show.  I have long loved the Beatles and their music, and this cabaret gives me the opportunity to put my own spin on their already wonderful music.”
