By: Carlos Gustavo Monroy Mar. 07, 2007
The acclaimed theatre ensemble Waterwell presented its second annual Waterwell Cabaret Benefit, which took place on Monday, March 5, 2007 at Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette Street).
The
performance was hosted by Waterwell ensemble members Hanna Cheek,
Rodney Gardiner and Kevin Townley and featured performances by
Waterwell ensemble member Nicole Parker (recently seen on Broadway in Fame Becomes Me and a regular on the long-running comedy series "MadTV") as well as Broadway vets such as Heath Calvert (Good Vibrations), Sarah Hyland (Grey Gardens), Nancy Opel (Tony nominee for Urinetown), and Elizabeth Stanley (Company).
Although the evening was a success, a fire at Joe's Pub unfortunately caused the benefit to end early. No one was injured.
"Founded in 2001 in Bloomington, Indiana, Waterwell relocated t0 New York City in 2002. The company devises fresh new productions – or 'drops' - that blend everything from original live music to incisive social commentary and interaction with the audience. The most recent Waterwell drop was the critically acclaimed Marco Millions (based on lies), which played the Lion Theatre on Theatre Row in August of 2006," according to press materials. The Waterwell ensemble includes Happy Anderson, Hanna Cheek, Lauren Cregor, Rodney Gardiner, Brian McMullen, Arian Moayed, Joe Morse, Nicole Parker, Elizabeth Payne, Tom Ridgely and Kevin Townley.
