FEATURED CABARET BENEFIT EVENT
FEATURED CABARET BENEFIT EVENT
Host and Helpusadopt.org board member Robin Westle, headliner Karen Akers, special guest star Raissa Katona Bennett, who appeared as Christine in Phantom of the Opera and is a prolific presence in cabaret, and a group of favorite featured entertainers, Alison Grace Bradbury, Gero Eaton, and Leah Jennings Stephen Mitchell Brown, carefully hand-picked by Robin and Robin's Nest director, Eric Michael Gillett, present a night of song to benefit Helpusadopt.org at THE WEST BANK CAFE/LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE (407 West 42nd Street, NYC - 212-695-6909) on Tuesday, June 2nd at 7:00 pm. Helpusadopt.org is a national non-profit 501(c)(3) financial assistance grant program providing qualified couples and individuals - regardless of race, ethnicity, marital status, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability - with grants of up to $15,000 towards their domestic, international, foster, or special needs adoption expenses. Adoption is expensive. Statistics say that an average adoption costs upwards of $30,000. The magnitude and uncertainty of these expenses is a significant obstacle standing in the way of permanent homes for the more than 150 million children around the globe who need parents. Through the generous contributions of donors, Helpusadopt.org is able to assist others in overcoming the financial obstacles they face when seeking to adopt. Helpusadopt.org's average grant is approximately $8,500 and since the organization's launch in 2007, Helpusadopt.org has helped to build 134 families by awarding over $1,000,000 in total adoption grants.

NYC: ERIC COMSTOCK & BARBARA FASANO RETURN TO METROPOLITAN ROOM
The popular husband-and-wife pop-jazz duo Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano return to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) for a six-night major engagement opening on Monday, June 1st at 7:00 pm. Additional shows are Tuesday & Thursday, June 2nd & 4th; Wednesday, June 3rd at 9:30 pm and Monday & Tuesday, June 8th & 9th at 7:00 pm. Their new show, "Shoulder Season," is a swinging summer cocktail of lazy days, blue skies, and exotic lands. Reflecting the duo's well-traveled view of the pop and jazz songbooks "Shoulder Season" (the phrase is borrowed from the travel industry to describe the off-peak times between high seasons) covers ample ground, everything from Sinatra to Strayhorn to Springsteen. A crackling combination of warmth, wit, swing and sensuality, this celebrated husband-and-wife team toasted their 10th wedding anniversary last August. Honored as vocalists, recording artists, and writers of their numerous performance pieces, they received an impressive three MAC Awards in one year, including Vocal Duo of the Year, Outstanding Female Vocalist and Record of the Year. Fasano's fourth CD, "Busy Being Free" drops this fall. Comstock, a 2015 Bistro Award winner, is the co-creator and star of the long-running Off-Broadway hit revue "Our Sinatra," and recently released his fourth CD, "bitter/sweet." Their many New York engagements include Carnegie Hall, The Appel Room and Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Merkin Hall, Symphony Space, Feinstein's, The Carlyle, Birdland, Jazz at Kitano, and the 92nd Street Y's "Lyrics and Lyricists" series. Across the country, they headline at Caramoor; Cooperstown Music Festival; Arizona Jazz Festival; Guild Hall in East Hampton; Sheldon Concert Hall and Jazz at The Bistro in St. Louis; Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston; Prince Music Theatre in Philadelphia, and The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach. They recently made their London debut at Crazy Coqs at Brasserie Z del. There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
