NYC: SANDRA BARGMAN IN THE EDGE OF EVERYDAY
Sacred Stages LLC presents Sandra Bargman in her show "The Edge of Everyday" at
THE METROPOLITAN ROOM(34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Sunday, September 27th at 4:00 pm. "The Edge of Everyday" explores our fear of change and ultimately, our acceptance of the dichotomies of Life. "The Edge" is where our resistance, our reluctance to embrace the diversity of life, collides with the inevitability of change in all the corners of our lives. Sandra considers the tension between these seeming paradoxes with poignancy and comedy, and with music ranging from David Bowie and Eric Clapton to Georgia Stitt and David Cantor, the show is a rowdy ride! Sandra Bargman has appeared in the Madison Square Garden's Broadway National tour of CINDERELLA starring Eartha Kitt. She has appeared Off-Broadway, has played leading roles in regional theaters and summer stock productions across the country, and has sung in many of the cabaret rooms of NYC. She holds a BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University. Her distinct voice can be heard in numerous radio and television commercials. Member AEA, SAG/AFTRA. Sandra is also a seminary trained Ordained Intespiritual Minister and is the founder of Sacred Stages, LLC, an organization that combines her performing background and her ministry. Sacred Stages is dedicated to encouraging everyone to explore our big questions about life and to re-discover timeless universal truths through the venue of live theater, music, media and workshops. The show is directed by multi MAC Award and Bistro Backstage Award winner Shawn Moninger. Musical Director Ian Herman will accompany Sandra at the piano with Dave Silliman on percussion and Jerry DeVore on bass. Sandra and Ian will debut their original tune, "Who's To Say?" and Sandra debuts her original rap "beat poet" tune, "Lean In Edgy Ones". There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

Lance recently received 5-star reviews and standing ovations at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, followed by a packed performance at Arts Theatre West End.

He's invited Liza Minnelli, Hugh Jackman and Miami Sound Machine to be on his show - and that's surely bound to happen. This solo show/ talk show spoof with a musical theater twist features original song parodies, The Sound of Music performed in five minutes, an homage to the film Fame, and many more ridiculous surprises. Peter Michael Marino is the performer and creator of Lance Jonathan's critically acclaimed cabaret spoofs "All About Me!" and "More About Me!" - which rocked the cabaret circuit in the mid-90s and led to a Backstage Bistro Award for Outstanding Achievement, and a number of MAC Award nominations. He is also the creator of "Desperately Seeking the Exit" which toured the world for over two years and recounted his tale of writing the flop Blondie musical "Desperately Seeking Susan." In addition to directing dozens of solo comedies, Peter is the creator of SOLOCOM at The PIT which debuted 90 original solo comedies in November 2014. www.petermmarino.comLance has suffered for his art.

Her follow-up shows have left jaded audiences (including Michael Stipe, Whoopi Goldberg, John Waters, Matt Stone, John Cameron Mitchell, Margaret Cho, Bruce Vilanch, Joyce Dewitt, and Jeff Stryker - a list as strange has her shows) stunned and clamoring for more.

Once again, Dina offers a delightful blend of unequalled song, unnecessary dance, unattractive costumes, and unbelievable video. Dina has packed venues throughout Seattle as well as in Provincetown, Philadelphia, Vancouver, Portland, San Francisco and London. Martina has shared the bill with acts such as Modest Mouse, Built To Spill, Justin Bond, Nina Hagen and The Village People. She's the recipient of two GLAAD Media Award nominations for Best Off-Off-Broadway Show, two Footlight Awards from The Seattle Times (1999 & 2004), a 1997 nominee for a Seattle Stranger Fringe Theater Award for Best Solo Show, and a finalist for the 2007 Alpert Award.

Joan Curto Sings Sondheim at 
Lynn Henderson's memories as a singer date back to grade school when she wore out a recording of "It's Magic" singing along with Doris Day. Throughout her life, singing has been her passion. From big band vocalist to saloon singer to Handel soloist to cabaret singer, it has all been a joy! The chapters of her life from single New Yorker to wife, mom, equestrienne, businesswoman, divorcee and world traveler all contribute to her selection of songs that speak to me. Life has given Lynn a finer appreciation of great songs and a deeper understanding of what the extraordinary musical poets are telling us. Welcome to Lynn's world!
