SUMMARY:Lisa Kantor – “May I Suggest…”
DESCRIPTION:Lisa Kantor returns to Boston with an Encore Performance of her uniquely powerful cabaret “May I Suggest…” \nAfter winning the Mike Renzi Award in Provincetown and getting multiple rave reviews both in Boston and New York City with her well received show “SHADOWS\,” singer Lisa Kantor mounted her newest show\, “May I Suggest…” on her home turf at Club Café’s Napoleon Room last spring. Lisa Kantor uses her voice through an eclectic grouping of songs\, spoken word\, and her own musings to take us on a totally human journey\, where posing the questions is as thrilling as getting the answers. \nWith a dose of humor\, a dash of dread\, a dollop of love\, and through the songs of Steven Schwartz\, Sammy Cahn\, Alan and Marilyn Bergman\, Johnny Mercer\, Jimmy Webb\, Susan Werner and more\, Lisa invites us to pause and find one another through musical reflections that nudge\, provoke and provide us with new pathways to both our sanity and humanity. \n“A beautifully crafted journey through the human condition …[Lisa offers her audience a combination of] polished vocals with jazz inflections\, creative riffs\, deft phrasing\, and most importantly\, emotional feeling and humor…This show was a perfect example of how poise\, interpretation\, and honesty move us most and leave us with much to ponder.”\nJohn Amodeo Cabaret Scenes – review of “May I Suggest…” May 2026\, \nJOSEPHINE’S in the NAPOLEON ROOM – The country’s best professionals and tomorrow’s rising stars singing JAZZ\, BROADWAY & MADCAP CABARET! Dinner seating starts at 5:30 pm and the one hour show begins at 6:00 pm. RESERVATIONS strongly recommended.

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 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.”
