Improvised Musical Comedy Series THANK YOU, PLACES Begins at PHIT Comedy
PHIT Comedy has created a new series that starts March 3rd, 'Thank You, Places.' Each show is an hourlong, Broadway-style musical that is entirely made up on the spot, created from a single audience suggestion. With a delightful twist on classic musical theatre storytelling and stylings reminiscent of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Steven Sondheim, Thank You, Places captivates your imagination and leaves you wanting more. Led by Director Dave Sucharski and Music Director Kevin Mucchetti, the Thank You, Places cast brings with them experience on Broadway National Tour, New York, Philadelphia, and Regional theatre stages, many years of improv comedy experience, and over 10,000 hours singing in the shower.

Photo Coverage: Annual Benefit for TRINITY PLACE
Once a year, Celebrity Make Up Artist Rob Harmon and friends hold a cabaret-style benefit to raise money for Trinity Place, a shelter for GLBTQ Youth. Trinity is an amazing grassroots organization that provides shelter to New York's GLBTQ teenage community who have been displaced from their homes and families. Over the past several years this humble "Cabaret" show has become so successful that it has produced more than half the church's annual budget.
The event on Sunday night featured appearances by Shoshana Bean (Wicked), Joey Taranto (Rock of Ages), Carrie Manolakos (Wicked), Donna Vivino (Wicked), Scott Alan, Neil Davis, Breedlove, SIRPAUL, Joe Hubrich (Housewives of Beverly Hills), Felicia Ricci (Wicked), Libby Servais (Wicked) and was hosted by Bianca Del Rio
Sunday night's event raised more than $12,000 for the shelter. If you'd like to learn more about Trinity Place, or to donate to their organization, please visit their site! http://www.trinityplaceshelter.org/
