When award shows hand out their awards, most nominees head home empty-handed, with only one holding the coveted prize.
Why must it end there?
In what may be an Award show first, the five nominees for The Manhattan Association of Cabaret Award (MAC) Best Female Vocalist category decided to all walk away together ...with a show, a show celebrating their talents, their diversity, and their mutual respect and admiration.
On November 21, Celia Berk, Sally Darling, Meg Flather, Josephine Sanges and Lisa Viggiano reprise TOGETHER: 2017 Cabaret Award-Nominated Vocalists, whose spring and summer performance's benefiting Trinity Place Shelter and #TheEmpathyInitiative of The Seeing Place Theatre, were warmly received. Proceeds from their upcoming November show will benefit The Meatloaf Kitchen (founded by University Community Social Services) serving dinners to hungry New Yorkers every Saturday since 1982. Efforts to support to a soup kitchen during the season of thanks felt so right to the TOGETHER team.
TOGETHER will return one final time in December to celebrate the winter holidays and support the arts and education...details coming soon.
With Musical Director John M. Cook, it was decided that the individual and group song choices should reflect the "togetherness" theme of the benefit, complete with original songs by singer/songwriter friends, Ann Hampton Callaway and Michele Brourman, Tim Di Pasqua, Tex Arnold and Meg Flather. Also expect to hear standards and surprises by Rodgers and Hart, Noel Coward and Stephen Sondheim, among others. Jeff Harnar directs.
TOGETHER: 2017 Cabaret Award-Nominated Vocalists became an event not to be missed.
