MAC Award Nominees Kathleen France & Dawn Derow to Bring REVOLUTION to The Duplex, Begin. 10/20

MAC Award nominees and besties, KATHLEEN FRANCE and DAWN DEROW, team up for a special evening. They will take their audience on a musical journey through a time of war entitled REVOLUTION. The duo sings songs of patriotic American women willing to fight for truth, and answer the call to action from the year 1776 to present day. Ms. France and Ms. Derow will examine messages sent by war, conflict peace and protest. This concept Cabaret show, conceived by Ms. France, is an homage to what kabarett used to be like in the German tradition. With the use of political satire and gallows humor, REVOLUTION will tackle important civil rights issues affecting American people. This fresh, yet classic, take will make the show a popular entertainment on the New York Cabaret scene. The show, vast in scope and deep in content is better classified as an event! This will give these two cosmopolitan New Yorker's a platform large enough to share their personal stories and forthright observations in an evening of protest, revolution, compassion, healing and laughs.

The United States of America has only known 21 calendar years of peace time since its inception.
$5.00 of each ticket sale will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Do you know what's worth fighting for?

You know when you have a great group of friends or a great friend, that is your equal, and yet your opposite? This is Kathleen and Dawn, besties for several years and wanting to work together but didn't have a project. The opposites attract statement is true for their collaboration in this show, and is the foundation of their friendship and chemistry on and off stage. "We are the Thelma and Louise of cabaret!" said Ms. Derow. Ms France had taken a break from the cabaret scene to advance her Musical Theatre career. "I didn't want to return to Cabaret until there was something big," said Ms. France. Ms. Derow has been a staple on the Cabaret scene, including her latest offering, serving New York audiences sexy sass in her acclaimed coloratura show LEGIT. So, in a music arrangement class Ms. France was hit by inspiration when reinterpreting a love song into a song of war and protest. She called Dawn and said, "Honey, we've got a show!" Dawn said, "Girlfriend, I'm with you!" REVOLUTION was born.
