NYC: TRACY STARK & MARCUS SIMEONE - "ON SACRED GROUND: THE SONGS OF JANIS IAN"

Two of today's most honored and prolific performers, Tracy Stark & Marcus Simeone, present a first in cabaret: 'On Sacred Ground: The Songs of Janis Ian' at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Saturday, October 24th at 7:00 pm. Janis Ian learned the truth at seventeen. With influences from folk pioneers like Joan Baez, Odetta and a bevy of activists and artists, she began writing songs at a very young age. When she released "Society's Child" in 1967, she received hate mail and death threats in addition to a radio station (in Atlanta) being burned down due to the controversial nature of the song's lyrics about an interracial romance. Many stations refused to add the song to their play lists. The song won her the first of two Grammy awards. After two previous attempts, the song became a runaway hit when Leonard Bernstein featured it in a CBS television special. It was only the beginning. At 16, she met Bill Cosby while touring with a chaperone (due to her age.) The shy teen often slept with her head on the chaperone's lap. Mr. Cosby petitioned television stations not to allow her on the air due to her bad influence as a result of her "lesbianism." A few years later, she would be the very very first musical artist to appear on the debut of Saturday Night Live. Hers has been a remarkable, outspoken, non-stop career that remains active to this day. Revered artists like Barbara Cook, Dame Shirley Bassey, Roberta Flack, Bette Midler, Nina Simone • and Cher - have all recorded Janis Ian's songs to great acclaim. She remains one of today's most respected female songwriters in a crowded field. For the first time in cabaret, On Sacred Ground - starring Marcus Simeone and Tracy Stark, pays overdue tribute to the lady who broke glass ceilings and made a lasting impact on generations. Her best selling autobiography (At Seventeen) won a Grammy (Best Spoken Word.) This homage to Janis Ian will feature familiar and rarely heard songs, including "Between The Lines," "Matthew," "Getting Over You," "This Train Still Runs," "Silly Habits," "When Angels Cry," "Jesse," "She Must Be Beautiful," "At Seventeen," "Stars" - and "Society's Child." Marcus Simeone is one of today's brightest lights in cabaret. Renowned for his multi-octave, expressive tenor and his unique ability to sing in many genres, he has received countless accolades. He recently made his Carnegie Recital Hall debut. Also a respected songwriter and recording artist, he will soon be releasing his sixth album on Miranda Music. Tracy Stark has won numerous awards for her distinguished work as a pianist, arranger and songwriter. She has accompanied a plethora of artists, including Lesley Gore, Phoebe Snow, Karen Black, Tovah Feldshuh and Barb Jungr. Her upcoming CD, on Miranda Music, is a collection of original songs titled "Shades of Beautiful." Lennie Watts directs, with Peter Calo on Guitar, Skip Ward on Bass and Mark Leitz on Percussion. There is a $22.50 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: DANCING WITH DEATH - THOMAS HONECK

Raconteur and dark Humorist, Thomas Honeck, returns to the stage at THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 212-255-5438) for his 3rd solo show after a seven year hiatus on Saturday, October 24th at 4:00 pm. Thomas was last seen in his MAC Award winning show "Dreaming Wide Awake," a show about how dreaming can alter the course of a life. When not on the stage, he has spent the last 17 years studying with Shamans from around the world. Despite all the cultural differences, what he resoundingly learned was that to truly celebrate life, you must fully embrace death. A self-proclaimed "Dark Humorist", Honeck's "Dancing with Death" carefully weaves crafted stories into songs to provide a thought provoking, but comic look at life through the eyes of death. It is a ruminating rumba on our relationship with Death and how her choreography can influence life, featuring songs by Peter Gabriel, Laura Nyro, Chris De Burgh and Mary Chapin-Carpenter. The dance card will be one of Music, Merriment and Madness - well, just a touch. Directed by his creative partner, Lisa Moss, the same team that produced the critically acclaimed "Social Intercourse" and "Sing Me A Story." Thomas and Lisa were both recently honored with a 2014 Bistro Award for being a highly innovative and creative team. Musical Direction by Andrew Sotomayor, with Jordan Jancz on cello. In lieu of a cover, please bring a check made out to "JDRF" (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) or The ALS Association for the amount of $15 - you can bring cash, it's just not a tax donation for you.

LYNN HENDERSON'S "IF WE ONLY HAVE LOVE" CD AVAILABLENOW ON CD BABY!

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!

Lynn's new CD, titled "If We Only Have Love", was released on September 15, 2014. Since enjoying these songs with her audiences and wonderful musicians over the last couple of years at the Metropolitan Room in New York City and all over CT., Lynn has been encouraged to share them with a larger audience.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS IN NYC: MITF STARTS NEW FALL FESTIVAL!

The Midtown International Theatre Festival (MITF) has started a new festival - in November! MITF: FALL combines some of the most popular features of other MITF festivals: short plays and musicals, a Variety division, the Short Play Lab, and staged readings. Short plays and musicals are the mainstay of the MITF Short Subjects (part of the larger MITF, in July) and the Midwinter Madness Short Play Festival. They are looking for any kind of short play or musical that fits the following guidelines:

* 30 - 60 min. long
* Easy to produce in a no-frills festival
* Any genre. (Plays using guns as props will not be considered).
* Plays must be sent in Word Document or PDF File. Pages MUST be numbered and script must be in standard playscript format.*(see below)

The Festival will take place at the Workshop Theater's JEWELBOX THEATER (312 West 36th Street, NYC). Short plays and musicals receive 3 performances, all in the same week. Producers receive a share of the profits, if any. Shows receive a tech rehearsal equal to 2.5 times the running time of the show.

The Variety division spans cabaret, magic, improv, sketch comedy, standup, and burlesque. Acts can be solo or group affairs, so long as they fit within an hour, including setup and strike, and so long as they bring their own musical director and so forth. The Festival provides a keyboard and amp. Shows receive a 1-hour tech rehearsal and a share of the profits, if any.

The Short Play Lab is just like the regular Short Play Labs throughout the year: 2 programs of about 10 short plays each (not to exceed 10 min. in length), each program performed twice. The Festival takes the door; 2 cash prizes are awarded to the most popular shows, 1 from each program. Each show receives no more than 20 min. of tech rehearsal.

For all shows, the Festival provides a theatre (the WorkShop Theater JewelBox), shared scenery (rehearsal cubes, a table, and 4 chairs), front-of-house staff, a board op (NOT a lighting designer), and a keyboard plus amp if necessary. Shows must be fully produced (off book!).

In addition to the fully produced shows, there will also be staged readings on weekday afternoons. Producers wishing to present a staged reading must make sure their reading doesn't exceed 3 hours and must pay a $100 fee. The Festival doesn't provide a board op or any technical rehearsal to speak of.

To submit a project, mark it clearly "MITF AutumnFest," and let them know whether it is a short play or musical, a variety act, a 10-min. play, or a staged reading. MITF will curate the entries as they come in, so you can start working on them as soon as possible. Please send all playscripts and all Variety submissions (video reels, youtube, etc.), to: john.chatterton@gmail.com

Submission Deadline For Short Subjects Is October 15th.
Submission Deadline For Short Play Lab and Variety Is October 22nd.

*PLAY SCRIPT FORMAT: 12 pt Times Roman; character names in the middle on their own line; line spaces between speeches and stage directions; indented stage directions; 1" margins all around.

CABARET PICK OF THE DAY

NYC: TRACY STARK & MARCUS SIMEONE - "ON SACRED GROUND: THE SONGS OF JANIS IAN"

Two of today's most honored and prolific performers, Tracy Stark & Marcus Simeone, present a first in cabaret: 'On Sacred Ground: The Songs of Janis Ian' at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Saturday, October 24th at 7:00 pm. Janis Ian learned the truth at seventeen. With influences from folk pioneers like Joan Baez, Odetta and a bevy of activists and artists, she began writing songs at a very young age. When she released "Society's Child" in 1967, she received hate mail and death threats in addition to a radio station (in Atlanta) being burned down due to the controversial nature of the song's lyrics about an interracial romance. Many stations refused to add the song to their play lists. The song won her the first of two Grammy awards. After two previous attempts, the song became a runaway hit when Leonard Bernstein featured it in a CBS television special. It was only the beginning. At 16, she met Bill Cosby while touring with a chaperone (due to her age.) The shy teen often slept with her head on the chaperone's lap. Mr. Cosby petitioned television stations not to allow her on the air due to her bad influence as a result of her "lesbianism." A few years later, she would be the very very first musical artist to appear on the debut of Saturday Night Live. Hers has been a remarkable, outspoken, non-stop career that remains active to this day. Revered artists like Barbara Cook, Dame Shirley Bassey, Roberta Flack, Bette Midler, Nina Simone • and Cher - have all recorded Janis Ian's songs to great acclaim. She remains one of today's most respected female songwriters in a crowded field. For the first time in cabaret, On Sacred Ground - starring Marcus Simeone and Tracy Stark, pays overdue tribute to the lady who broke glass ceilings and made a lasting impact on generations. Her best selling autobiography (At Seventeen) won a Grammy (Best Spoken Word.) This homage to Janis Ian will feature familiar and rarely heard songs, including "Between The Lines," "Matthew," "Getting Over You," "This Train Still Runs," "Silly Habits," "When Angels Cry," "Jesse," "She Must Be Beautiful," "At Seventeen," "Stars" - and "Society's Child." Marcus Simeone is one of today's brightest lights in cabaret. Renowned for his multi-octave, expressive tenor and his unique ability to sing in many genres, he has received countless accolades. He recently made his Carnegie Recital Hall debut. Also a respected songwriter and recording artist, he will soon be releasing his sixth album on Miranda Music. Tracy Stark has won numerous awards for her distinguished work as a pianist, arranger and songwriter. She has accompanied a plethora of artists, including Lesley Gore, Phoebe Snow, Karen Black, Tovah Feldshuh and Barb Jungr. Her upcoming CD, on Miranda Music, is a collection of original songs titled "Shades of Beautiful." Lennie Watts directs, with Peter Calo on Guitar, Skip Ward on Bass and Mark Leitz on Percussion. There is a $22.50 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
