Steven Carl McCasland brings his show 'Mother Wanted Me to Come Out in a Kimono' to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Saturday, July 19th at 4:00 pm. McCasland was born and raised on Long Island, and spent his childhood obsessively collective every Cast Recording (even the illegal ones) ever made. He has spent years studying, worshiping and following the careers of Carol Channing, Elaine Stritch, Edie Beale, Katherine Hepburn, Harvey Fierstein and Patti LuPone ... to name a few! And if it wasn't for his love of Stephen Sondheim, he may never have learned to communicate at all. Now Steven revisits his love of musical theater, complete with stories, songs. Growing up a show queen isn't easy and in Mother Wanted Me To Come Out In A Kimono bares it all. He is joined by James Horan on piano. The evening features songs by Stephen Sondheim, Richard Rodgers, Michael John LaChiusa, Harry Chapin, Harold Arlen and more. There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

MATINEE CABARET: N.Y.STATE: JERRY GRETZINGER SINGS ABOUT WOMEN IN HIS LIFE

---

Jerry Gretzinger is back with a vengeance, starring on Washington County's MAINSTAGE AT FORT SALEM THEATER (11 East Broadway, Salem, NY - 518-854-9200) as a once successful singer whose popularity is waning, in the new musical, Women in My Life, running for two weekends, Fridays through Sundays, July 11th through 20th slightly deviating from the Fort's normal schedule, with 8:00 pm shows on July 11th, 12th, and 18th, and matinees at 2:00 pm on July 13th, 19th and 20th. As Jerry Jerome, Gretzinger balances his career with his ex-wife, former girl friend, and the women with whom he lives but fails to commit. Tough enough he has to deal with them in his personal life, he employs them all as his backup group, which means he also deals with them dealing with one another. As the ex, Susan Cicarelli-Caputo, a fixture at the former NYSTI and Capital Rep, brings her years of theater experience to play against type as a sometimes bitter woman struggling with her own inability to separate from the man she has divorced. The former girl friend, played by Heather-Liz Copps, who sang opposite Gretzinger last year in the Not-So-Common Players' Music Man, observes from a distance as Jerry Jerome gives his ego needed strokes by hitting on the new girl in the backup group, played by Gretzinger's real-life fiancee, Erin Weaver. Women in My Life, the creation of Fort Salem's artistic director, Jay Kerr, contains serious autobiographical overtones. Call for cover/minimum information.  CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE MEMBER EVENT
