SUMMARY:Risa Finkel: Grist for the Mill
DESCRIPTION:Risa Finkel returns to the great outdoors of Long Island to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation in her new show Grist for the Mill\, June 12\, 13\, and 14. With arrangements and musical direction by Paul Greenwood and Michael Rice\, Rex Benincasa on drums\, Ritt Henn on bass\, and Mike Rosengarten on guitar\, banjo\, and mandolin\, the show is directed by Geoff Stoner\, with technical direction by Kelly Wohlford. Creative consultant is David Friedman. \nFinkel will offer an eclectic program of songs\, both familiar and new\, combined with stories and humor\, that celebrate freedom\, family\, love\, opportunity and community. Before and after the show\, there will be a gathering with light fare and beverages. Proceeds will benefit the preservation of the Lefferts Tide Mill\, the nation’s best preserved 18th century tidal gristmill\, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. \n“…it is her depth of expressiveness and attention to story that makes a lovely voice remarkable.” ~ Navida Stein\, StageBuddy \n“…an impressive talent for making listeners feel fully at home.” ~ Mark Dundas Wood\, Bistro Awards \nRisa Finkel has had a long and illustrious career. She has appeared on stages and in concert venues on Long Island\, in New York City and around the country as an actress and as a singer of music ranging from the American Popular songbook\, to Broadway and opera. In addition to her love of performing and singing\, Finkel has always had a great interest in story-telling. Over the years\, she has found that the best way to combine all of these talents and interests is in the art form of cabaret. Grist for the Mill follows Finkel’s two sold-out shows outdoors at Long Island’s Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve: A Grand Night For Singing\, June 28\, 2024\, and Sunday in the Park with Risa\, October 20\, 2024. \nLefferts Tide Mill and Preserve is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established to preserve this 18th century treasure in its original location and to maintain the preserve as a sanctuary for native and migratory waterfowl and as an important contributor to the biodiversity of the surrounding area.

SUMMARY:PROJECT 2026: BLUE TSUNAMI!
DESCRIPTION:PROJECT 2026: BLUE TSUNAMI! Cabaret Variety Fundraising Series for Democratic Congress Candidates\, produced and hosted by Stephen Hanks\, is scheduled for 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 June 13th show features: April Armstrong\, Peter Calo\, Terri Dannenberg\, Natalie Douglas\, Any Engelhardt\, Lauren Fox\, Rosemary Loar\, Sue Matsuki\, Kati Neiheisel\, Geri Palast. Music Director: Gregory Toroian. \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.”
