SUMMARY:Project 2026: Blue Tsunami!
DESCRIPTION:PROJECT 2026: BLUE TSUNAMI! Cabaret Variety Fundraising Series for Democratic Congress Candidates\, produced and hosted by Stephen Hanks\, on May 7\, June 13\, September 1\, and October 20. All shows at 7PM at Don’t Tell Mama (343 West 46th St\, New York\, NY\, 10036). Tickets: $30. Minimum: $20 (Must include two drinks). Cash only. \nThe cast for the September 1 show features: D.C. Anderson\, Claudine Cassan-Jellison\, Bruce Clough\, Mary Sue Daniels\, Lianne Marie Dobbs\, Sean Harkness\, Liora Michelle\, Karen Oberlin\, David Sabella\, Richard Skipper\, Ty Stephens\, Vanessa Trouble\, Sierra Rein. Music Director: Ian Herman. \nThe cast for the October 20 show features: Sandra Bargman\, Raissa Katona Bennett & Kenneth Gartman\, Meg Flather\, Janice Hall\, Laurie Krauz\, Ann Kittredge\, Joe Iconis & Lauren Marcus\, Lorinda Lisitza\, Adam B. Shapiro\, Gerrilyn Sohn\, Lisa Viggiano. Music Director: Tracy Stark. \nSeven months prior to the 2018 midterm elections\, long-time Cabaret Show Reviewer\, Producer\, Publicist\, and Performer Stephen Hanks launched a series of five cabaret variety shows as fundraisers for Democratic Senate\, Congress\, and State Legislature candidates. The critically acclaimed CABARET CAMPAIGNS: RIDE THE BLUE WAVE 2018!\, performed at Don’t Tell Mama and featuring 28 different performers\, raised more than $6\,000 divided among 30 candidates. Election Day 2018 was indeed a “Blue Wave\,” as the Democrats flipped 40 seats in Congress. After presenting two Blue Wave Victory Shows at Don’t Tell Mama in January 2019 and one Blue Wave Greatest Hits show at Urban Stages in June 2019—all of which received rave reviews from the Cabaret press—Hanks and his “Blue Wave Group” hit the cabaret club campaign trail again in January 2020\, May 2022\, and May 2024 with shows that raised money to support national voting rights groups and New York Democratic Congressional candidates. In September 2024\, Hanks and his “Blue Wavers” were back at Don’t Tell Mama with the 12th variety fundraising show\, this time to raise money for the Presidential campaign of Vice-President Kamala Harris. \n“I was hoping that after the 2024 Presidential election\, I wouldn’t need to produce these shows again\,” Hanks admits. “But given the current dangers to our First-Amendment Rights\, Voting Rights\, Health Care\, Personal Freedoms\, National Security\, the attacks on Immigrants\, and More\, it is imperative that Democrats win both houses of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections. Hence\, the new series PROJECT 2026: BLUE TSUNAMI! I’m hoping these fundraising shows will also energize audiences to support Democratic candidates however they can. As in times past\, the cabaret art form is an ideal vehicle to get this important message out\, while at the same time also supporting those on the front lines of the fight.”

SUMMARY:Hayley Trapp: The Bubbling Cabaret
DESCRIPTION:Hayley Trapp makes her 54 Below debut with The Bubbling Cabaret\, a poignant new show honoring the legacy of her late brother\, Charlie Trapp. At just 20 years old—and mere months before moving to NYC to pursue musical theatre—Hayley suddenly lost her 17-year-old brother. Joined by solo artist and musical director Jackson Trapp\, this is a powerful tribute to the unbreakable sibling bond. The evening blends uplifting memories and Charlie’s own poetry with an eclectic setlist featuring the music of Sade\, Stephen Sondheim\, Lianne La Havas\, Cage the Elephant\, and more. \nOpening on the first day of National Suicide Prevention Month\, Hayley and the Trapp family ensemble invite you to celebrate Charlie’s creative spirit while highlighting the vital importance of human connection. A portion of the proceeds will benefit teen mental health resources through a donation to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. \nHayley Trapp is a musical theatre performer based in NYC. She graduated in 2025 with a joint BFA in Musical Theatre from Eckerd College and Circle in the Square Theatre School. Most recently\, she performed in a cabaret at Don’t Tell Mama. She appeared in Vital Theatre Company’s The Wizard of Oz as Glinda\, at The Actors Temple and Westport Country Playhouse. She has also been seen in Horse Girls as Tiffany and Something Rotten as an ensemble member at Theatre Row. \nJackson Trapp is a vocalist\, multi-instrumentalist (keys\, guitar\, bass)\, producer\, and songwriter. A graduate of Berklee College of Music\, he has been making music professionally for over 10 years. Currently based in Los Angeles\, his inspiration draws from many genres\, including Indie\, Hip Hop\, R&B\, Jazz\, Folk\, Gospel\, and Rock. He likes to make music that feels great and makes people feel something.
