This Mother's Day, enjoy a heartwarming benefit cabaret, "Uptown Mamas," at The Green Room 42 on May 11 at 9:30 PM. This special event showcases the incredible talents of actor mamas from Uptown, Downtown, and Midtown, who have graced Broadway, Off-Broadway, National Tours, and The Metropolitan Opera.

This vital organization is the largest victim service provider in the country, helping over 250,000 people each year who have experienced violence, abuse, or exploitation. The proceeds will directly benefit families residing in the shelter, helping to provide necessary resources and create a trauma-informed environment.
