The JULIANA PROJECT returns to THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 212-255-5438) on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm. Each month the cast of the JULIANA PROJECT performs a number of chapters from the novel, JULIANA, in a way that is similar to a mini-series. In each "episode" the story is brought to life as the actors recreate scenes from 1940s New York. Often these scenes occur in places familiar to modern day audiences, such as Times Square, MacDougal Street and Cafe Reggio. The "episodes" contain live musical performances, comedy, sex and drama, performed in clothing suggestive of the time period. The audience becomes engulfed in this bygone era and soon finds itself in the midst of a gripping story of gay men and women living through a tumultuous time of fear, triumph, secrecy, love and excitement. Vanda, the writer, has earned numerous awards as a playwright. In addition to being an Edward Albee Fellow, Vanda was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award, and recently won Best New Play in Celebration Theater's New Play Contest (originators of Naked Boys Singing). Her play, PATIENT HM, won first place in Pride Stage and Screen's Women's Contest and another play, THE FORGETTING CURVE, which is under option to Theatrum Mundi, was produced at Boston Arts Center this past September.

The CD is a bracing collection of genre-demolishing tunes that draws on a soulful combination of pop, jazz, and funk. Based in New York City, Bess is an alchemist of both pain and joy; her brave songwriting and profound lyrics providing purpose for her unique, classically trained voice. A North Carolina native and lifelong performer, Bess has always crossed genre lines and let her most personal experiences dictate the path her music takes. In 2013, her first full-length album, for Happy, was released as a love letter to her late mother. Resurrect Me is another powerful collection of songs inspired by McCrary's own recent bout with cancer, an experience that caused permanent nerve damage to her voice, but left her spirit and talent intact. Her newest single, "Conquer and Thrive," serves as an ode to resurrection and as an anthem to encourage us all to be our best selves. Recently chosen as an Artist-in-Residence by the Serenbe Community for May 2015, Bess also performs regularly around the country with her full band and smaller ensembles.

NYC: PENNY ARCADE AT JOE'S PUB: LONGING LASTS LONGER

Penny Arcade and her long-time collaborator Steve Zehentner, continue their development of Longing Lasts Longer, a passionate rumination on love, longing and the loss of New York's cultural identity at JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE(425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555) on Mondays, May 18th, 25th, and June 1st & 8th, all shows at 7:00 pm. In the post-gentrified landscape of "The Big Cupcake," where ideas too have been gentrified, Longing Lasts Longer is set in a New York disappearing under the weight of suburbanization, cultural amnesia and the politically correct straightjacket of consensus. An ode to the eternal seeker, Longing Lasts Longer is equal parts memoir, manifesto, cultural critique and Cri de Coeur, where Arcade's snake-bite observations create a nourishing euphoric rush of truth telling as visionary as it is inclusive and hilarious. Embedded into this rollicking landscape, a live-mixed soundscape of music grooves ranging from Al Green to John Lennon, jump, counterpunch and exalt, charting an emotional pathway for the audience and a new anthem to personal happiness. Driven by her magnetic rock n' roll energy, Penny Arcade creates a crack in the post-gentrified landscape where you can think, laugh and dance at the same time! There is a $20 cover.

NYC: AN EVENING WITH STEVE ROSS AT BIRDLAND

In one special evening Steve Ross gives us excerpts from shows he's performed over his long career at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Monday, May 25th at 7:00 pm. Expect songs of and stories about many of the songwriters he's saluted: Rodgers & Hart ("With a Song In My Heart"), Irving Berlin ("Let Yourself Go"), Jacques Brel ("Fanette"), Lerner & Loewe("If Ever I Would Leave You"), Stephen Sondheim ("Too Many Mornings"), Kander& Ebb ("Life of the Party") and Fred Astaire ("Cheek to Cheek"). He'll be accompanied by bassist Jesse Bielenberg. Steve Ross was raised in Washington, DC, and heard a lot of music at home, some from his mother who played piano. In due course, he studied piano himself and by the time he had attended Georgetown University, spent a little time in a seminary, and served in the US Army, he had become an accomplished pianist, drawing his repertoire not from contemporary pop but from the Great American Songbook. In the early 70s he settled in New York City where he soon became well known on the city's cabaret scene. At first a background pianist, he was urged by club owners to sing and gradually began to do this, eventually training as a singer. As his personal style developed, so his reputation spread. Ted Hook, owner of Backstage, a piano bar in the midtown theatre district, hired him. The association was hugely successful and in 1979 Hook opened a new club, Onstage, especially to showcase Ross' talents. In 1981, Ross was booked into the Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel where he played a considerable part in establishing the room as a perennial favorite of artists and customers. At some venues he would find himself accompanying leading entertainers who happened to be in the audience, among them Liza Minnelli and Ginger Rogers. Ross toured Australia in 1986, one of his shows there being recorded at Don Burrows' Supper Club, and he returned to that country in the late 90s. He has played many festivals, including Perth in Australia, Spoleto in Italy, and Hong Kong. Other international venues include seasons at London's Ritz Hotel and Pizza On The Park. In 1989, he hosted a live cabaret series for BBC Television, and back in America was host of New York Cabaret Nights, a series for National Public Radio. Ross maintained his popularity and high standards through the 90s and into the early 00s. In the winter of 1996-97, he appeared in a revival of Noel Coward's 'Present Laughter' at the Walter Kerr Theatre; the show, which starred Frank Langella, ran for 175 performances. At New York's Stanhope Park Hyatt Hotel in the winter of 2003-04 he presented a new cabaret show, My Manhattan, an elegant portrait of a hundred years of the city's life seen through song. Ross' repertoire draws from the work of songwriters past and present, such as George Gershwin, Cole Porter, with whose work he has a special affinity, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, and Stephen Sondheim. He has appeared with stride pianist Judy Carmichael, performing a show entitled Style Meets Stride that featured the music of Porter and Fats Waller. Ross sings in a light baritone voice, playing the piano with verve. For several years, he has been referred to as 'the Crown Prince of New York Cabaret," an unofficial but merited title. There is a $30-$40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
