NYC: ERIC COMSTOCK AT CAFE NOCTAMBULO AT PANGEA
Eric Comstock continues his residency at New York's newest music venue, CAFE NOCTAMBULO AT PANGEA(178 Second Avenue, NYC - 212-995-0900) from 8:00 pm to midnight every Tuesday night. An acknowledged master of the American Songbook, Comstock has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and virtually every important nightclub in New York and across the country. He is one of only a handful of singer/pianists who can command a room merely by sitting at the piano, singing and telling stories. In addition to his extensive knowledge of repertoire, Comstock has a seemingly unending supply of anecdotes about the songs, the writers, and the stars who sang them. His unique combination of musicianship, history and charisma creates an experience that is as entertaining as it is musically savvy, and his audiences feel they've been to a terrific party where the music and the stories have been equally great. There is a $20 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum. CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE MEMBER EVENT

They will appear as three iconic women in selections from Vanishing Point, a new musical by Rob Hartmann, Liv Cummins & Scott Keys. Author Agatha Christie vanished for eleven days in 1926; that same year, evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson vanished for three weeks. Amelia Earhart disappeared during her 1937 round-the-world flight. Amelia was never seen again; Agatha and Aimee never spoke of what happened during their disappearances. Vanishing Point brings the three together as they disappear from the world and decide when - or if - they want to return. Farah Alvin (as Agatha Christie), Kate Shindle (as Amelia Earhart) and Katie Thompson (as Aimee Semple McPherson) present selections from this powerhouse three-woman musical, with music direction by Gillian Berkowitz. Vanishing Point has been seen across the country, including productions in Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. The show had its international premiere at Teatro Lara in Madrid, Spain, in July. There is a $25-$50 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
