THE REPRISE ROOM AT DILLON'S HAS CLOSED

THE REPRISE ROOM AT DILLON'S (245 West 54th Street, NYC ) has closed - Booking Manager (I guess we should say "former") Collette Black reports that last Friday she was told by the owners, without advance warning, that the club would be closing for one week to put in a new stage and that she should cancel the shows accordingly. She spent the weekend franticly rebooking the performances to other venues. But on Sunday night, a work crew arrived to take tables and chairs to auction and a sign saying "closed" was taped to the door. The 2009 MAC AWARD NOMINATE review "What's The Point?!?" scheduled for tonight has been cancelled. This is the second time that Collette has had a venue she was booking close without warning - the first was ROSE'S TURN where she handled the cabaret events for several years, and closed with just one week's notice two years ago.
