Lucille Carr-Kaffashan returns toDON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 ) this fall with her new show, Diamonds and Rust: Female Singer- Songwriters of the 1970's. With her long-time musical director, David Brunetti, on piano, and Frank Wagner on bass, Lucille will perform the show on Thursday, November 17th at 7:00 pm, and on two Saturdays, November 26th and December 3rd, at 4:30 pm. With thoughtful and sensitive direction by Eric Michael Gillett, Diamonds and Rust revisits the cultural climate of the 1970's through the voices of ten talented women whose songs both reflected and inspired a generation. Lucille celebrates the work of Carole King, Laura Nyro, Joan Baez, Carly Simon, Janis Ian and other artists whose words and music explored the huge societal shifts associated with the civil rights, women's liberation, and anti-war movements. Their songs challenge, soothe, and entertain us, all the while illuminating an emotional history of America during an era that changed our culture and the way we viewed the world. Lucille performed for a number of years in the regional productions of the New Jersey-based Entertainers Theater before developing her first cabaret act. Since her Don't Tell Mama debut in 1999, she has presented seven different one-woman shows at clubs in New York City, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, including Mama Rose's, The Encore, Helen's, Odette's, The Stockton Inn, and Bob Egan's Cabaret Supper Club. She has also appeared as a guest performer in special productions at both the Laurie Beechman Theater and the Metropolitan Room. Lucille is the recipient of the prestigious Hanson Award, presented each year to one individual by the Manhattan Association of Cabaret and Clubs. Her most recent cabaret outings were the critically acclaimed shows, Finding Home and In My Life, A Celebration of Beatles Music.
