The LIVE FROM SKYLIGHT RUN virtual concert series has been a labor of love for Carole Demas and her husband, Stuart J. Allyn. They started the online live performance program as the summer of 2020 turned into autumn, presenting live concerts and cabarets from their own home, the delightful (and delightfully named) Skylight Run, in order to reach fans homebound due to the pandemic. Those fans of Carole's, whether Broadway aficionados wishing to hear songs by GREASE's original Sandy, or PBS watchers reminiscent for a little MAGIC GARDEN magic, were most happy that the married couple teamed up with Musae to keep the arts alive, while show business slept through the health crisis. Presenting a new show every few weeks, Live From Skylight Run welcomed performers like Sarah Rice, Carter Calvert, and Ian Herman into their home and then sent them out into the virtual age of entertainment in interactive VR shows. Now, ten months later, Ms. Demas is ready to get in front of the camera once, more, and this time with special guest Paula Janis, her co-star from The Magic Garden. Only a week separates fans of the popular television show from these two (nearly) lifelong best friends. For tickets to the performance visit the Musae website event page HERE, and then read all about the presentation in the Live From Skylight Run press release below. In the meantime, there is exciting news for all fans of The Magic Garden: A documentary film is being made about Carole, Paula and their show - information on MAGIC GARDEN. MAGIC WOMEN can be obtained HERE.

Carole starred in TV's most successful regional children's series, THE MAGIC GARDEN (for over 12 years) with her Co-Star, Paula Janis, leading to 3 albums (one Grammy Nominee), hundreds of live family concerts and recent viral posts on Facebook.
From its debut, The Magic Garden, which Demas filmed on her day off from Grease, was a hit. "Kids understood that we were really friends," Janis said. "It wasn't just some made-up show with two people who hardly knew each other." In fact, the show only had a one-page script - the hosts' banter was mostly spontaneous.
Carole Demas, who created the role of Sandy, in the original Broadway Production of GREASE, as well as the Title Role in THE BAKER'S WIFE, and created leading roles in numerous other shows, various Soap Operas and primetime TV dramas. She continues (in NYC) to be an extraordinary singer, an engaging speaker with over 60 years in professional theatre. more at www.caroledemas.com
