The Green Room 42 To Present Carolyn Bacon's WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT WOMEN VOL. 2

The Green Room 42 will welcome back Carolyn Bacon in "What You Don't Know About Women Vol. 2" on March 25 at 7pm. After a captivating debut last summer, Carolyn returns with an intimate new version of her feminist solo show that puts women's private conversations in the spotlight. From Stephen Sondheim and classic standards to Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone, Billie Eilish, and Lake Street Dive, Carolyn uses the power of music to highlight things women aren't supposed to say out loud.

Inspired by lyrics from Cy Coleman's City of Angels, "What you don't know about women could fill a shelf of books", Carolyn began collecting songs about taboo topics and unfamiliar female archetypes for Volume 1. Volume 2 deepens and complicates these themes, highlighting women's power to reclaim narratives, with direction by Hannah Katz and music direction by her husband Brian Fitzsousa (Metropolitan Opera). No subject is off limits in this show that stands firmly at the interaction of cabaret and activism.

A portion of show proceeds will be donated to We All Really Matter (W.A.R.M.), a not-for-profit Harlem organization founded by survivor Stephanie McGraw that is committed to ending violence against women of color, transgender, and gnc people in NYC. W.A.R.M. provides aid to those in abusive relationships and continued support for survivors. Stephanie was propelled to start her own organization after seeing that there was a lack of black women speaking out about domestic violence. She relentlessly works to offer survivors the help she wishes had existed when she was in their position.
