COMIX's Copper Room Presents OUT OF THE ENSEMBLE CABARET 3/23

Kearns Artist Services and COMIX continue their new cabaret series "Out of the Ensemble" on March 23rd at 8pm in COMIX's Copper Room, featuring performers from current and past Broadway shows and national tours.

Andy Kelso (Mamma Mia!, Two Rooms at The Active Theater), Erica Mansfield (A Chorus Line Broadway National Tour, Mamma Mia!), Gerard Salvador (Mamma Mia!, Producer of Friends with Benefits Cabaret), Jessica Stewart (Fiddler on the Roof at The Village Light Opera) and Dennis Stowe (Shrek the Musical, The Apple Tree) will be performing at this month's series.

The goal of the series is to highlight the talent of the unsung heroes of Broadway shows - members of the Ensemble. For one night these talented performers will step "out of the Ensemble and into the spotlight" and have an opportunity to perform songs that they love. Each month we will also invite a new performer to sing a song on the bill to give exposure to up and coming talent as well.

COMIX's Copper Room is located at 353 West 14th Street at 9th Avenue, New York. Cover is $5 at the door and drink specials will include $5 cocktails and $3 draft beers all night in The Copper Room.
