Will Kelley: For the Record
2026-08-29 19:00 - 20:30 | The Laurie Beechman Theatre/West Bank Cafe, 407 West 42nd St, New York, NY, 10036, United States
For the Record is an original autobiographical cabaret show about the walls we build to survive—and what it takes to finally take them down. Through a genre-spanning setlist from musical theatre to rock and everything in between, Will Kelley traces a deeply personal journey through identity, resilience, and the specific freedom that comes with finally telling the whole story. It is emotionally raw, sharply funny, and the kind of evening that makes an audience feel like they’re the only people in the room.
After two acclaimed runs at 54 Below, For the Record comes home to the Laurie Beechman Theatre—the venue below West Bank Cafe, where Will first sat down with director Michael Kirk Lane and described, over French fries, what he wanted to say on stage. August 29 is the final performance.
“I’m a different person than the one who wrote this show. Performing it and getting to live in these stories has done what writing it couldn’t. August 29 is where that person gets to take a bow.”
Directed by Tony Award winner Faith Prince and Michael Kirk Lane. Music Direction by John Bronston.

Project 2026: Blue Tsunami!
2026-09-01 19:00 - 20:30 | Don’t Tell Mama, 343 West 46th St, New York, NY, 10036, United States
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.
The 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.
The 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.
Seven 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.
“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.”

Hayley Trapp: The Bubbling Cabaret
2026-09-01 21:30 - 22:30 | 54 Below, 254 West 54th Street, New York, 10019, United States
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.
Opening 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.
Hayley 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.
Jackson 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.

Richard Skipper Celebrates! Life Lessons from Legends
2026-09-10 19:00 - 20:30 | Arts Project of Cherry Grove, Inc., 180 Bayview Walk, Cherry Grove, 11706
The Arts Project of Cherry Grove Presents:
Richard Skipper Celebrates! Life Lessons from Legends
Celebrating the legends, trailblazers, and unforgettable personalities who helped shape Cherry Grove’s extraordinary history!
With Michael McAssey on Piano and Special Guest Star, Cherry Grove’s Own Legend, Rose Levine
On Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 7:00 PM, award-winning entertainer, host, author, and LIVE ENTERTAINMENT historian Richard Skipper returns to Fire Island for the first time in twenty years with his acclaimed new show, Richard Skipper Celebrates! Life Lessons from Legends, at the APCG Community House in Cherry Grove.
This engagement marks a deeply personal homecoming. Richard’s last performance on Fire Island was more than two decades ago—when he was appearing as Carol Channing, a role he performed around the world for twenty years. This time, he returns as himself, sharing the stories, songs, humor, and wisdom gathered throughout a lifetime spent celebrating the artists who shaped American entertainment.
“It’s fitting that this return takes place in Cherry Grove,” says Skipper. “The last time I was on Fire Island was to see Carol Channing perform alongside Justin Vivian Bond. Those memories have stayed with me, and returning now with this show feels like coming full circle.”
Joining Richard is Rose Levine, recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest continuously performing drag queen. For more than seventy years, Rose has been a beloved entertainer and cultural icon whose career has become inseparable from the rich history of Cherry Grove and Fire Island. Her remarkable life embodies resilience, artistry, humor, and authenticity—the very qualities celebrated throughout the evening.
Unlike a traditional cabaret performance, Richard Skipper Celebrates! Life Lessons from Legends is an audience-interactive experience. Before the show begins, audience members are invited to submit questions. Those questions shape the evening, making every performance unique. Through songs, stories, laughter, and spontaneous conversation, Skipper explores the wisdom passed down by legendary artists including Carol Channing, Jerry Herman, Julie Wilson, Marilyn Maye, Lee Roy Reams, and many others, while celebrating the legends sitting in the audience.
“My career has never really been about celebrity,” says Skipper. “It’s about the lessons people leave behind. Every great artist I’ve known has taught me something—not just about performing, but about living. Those are the stories I want to share.”
Known for his warmth, wit, and extraordinary ability to connect with audiences, Richard Skipper has appeared at venues across the country, including 54 Below, The Laurie Beechman Theatre, The Green Room 42, The Revolution Stage Company, Maureen’s Jazz Cellar, and many others. His extensive oral history project, CallonDolly.com, contains more than a thousand interviews documenting the enduring legacy of Hello, Dolly! and the artists who brought it to life.
As Fire Island continues its proud tradition of celebrating individuality, artistry, and community, this special evening promises to honor not only the legends who came before us, but the life lessons that continue to unite us.

A Moth StorySLAM winner and featured storyteller on Stories From the Stage on PBS, Paul will weave a musical tale of personal and family memories that lingered long after the credits rolled and the curtain dropped, including glimpses into how that legacy shaped the selection of stage and screen musicals that Paul shared with his own son when Paul became a parent.

2026-09-22 18:30 - 19:30 | NY
Richard Skipper Celebrates! Life Lessons from Legends
This is not a show you watch. It’s a show you become part of.
Richard Skipper Celebrates! Life Lessons from Legends is an audience-interactive show of songs, stories, laughter, and shared discovery inspired by the legendary artists — and everyday people — who shape our lives. Through personal storytelling, live conversation, music, and spontaneous audience participation, Richard explores the wisdom, humor, resilience, and humanity passed down through generations of entertainers, mentors, friends, and cultural icons.
No two performances are ever alike. Each performance becomes a unique collaboration between Richard and the audience, creating what he calls “a celebration of connection.” Audiences laugh, reflect, participate, and often leave seeing their own stories in a new light. Blending cabaret, conversation, theatrical storytelling, and inspiration, Life Lessons from Legends reminds us that legends are not relics of the past—they are living lessons that continue to guide us forward.

Lionel R. Shockness: AWAKENINGS(s)…Mixologist to Psychologist
2026-09-24 19:00 - 20:00 | Don't Tell Mama, 343 W 46th Street, New York, New York, 10036
Lionel R. Shockness returns to Don’t Tell Mama with his new solo show Awakening(s)…Mixologist to Psychologist. Featuring the music of Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Schwartz, David Shire, Johnny Mercer and more, Shockness is joined by Musical Director and Arranger Gregory Toroian on piano, Tom Hubbard on bass, and David Silliman on drums. Directed by Lina Koutrakos.
What happens when a 33-year-old bartender returns to college to study law—and instead discovers his life’s calling as a Psychotherapist?
Awakening(s)…Mixologist to Psychologist is an evening of music, storytelling, laughter, and heartfelt reflection inspired by more than three decades of helping people navigate love, loss, conflict, reconciliation, and the lifelong journey of becoming whole. Through unforgettable stories and songs, Shockness shares how counseling hundreds of couples transformed not only the lives of his clients, but his own—making him a better husband, father, and compassionate activist. Along the way, he invites audiences to laugh, reflect, and perhaps recognize pieces of their own lives in his.
Experience an intimate evening with a performer whose rich, soulful voice has been described as a blend of Barry White and Luther Vandross, in a show that reminds us that the most profound relationships are often the ones that awaken us to ourselves.
“Thirty-plus years of counseling couples taught me that love isn’t something we find—it’s something we practice. Join me for an evening of music, laughter, and reflections from a life spent helping people love each other a little better. Relationships transform the people who are willing to learn from them.” ~ Lional R. Shockness
New York City native Lionel R. Shockness, a longtime fixture on the city’s cabaret scene, has appeared at Sweetwater’s, The Duplex, Pangea, and Don’t Tell Mama, where he presented three solo shows directed by Helen Baldassare with musical direction by Gregory Toroian: Here’s to Life!, Both Sides Now, and Being Here and Keeping It Real.

Rod Ferguson - Cult Classic
2026-09-27 08:00 - 17:00 | Josephine’s at Club Cafe, 209 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
“CULT CLASSIC” tells the story of how long ago, in a faraway land, a teenaged social outcast became obsessed with the film Muriel’s Wedding and used it as his guide to life. Yes, it was none other than Rod Ferguson, who set out on his own journey to find where he belongs. Laugh and learn, as Rod shares how often he’s found himself on the path of joining a cult. At this point, he’s got enough experience to start his own cult! You should join us! It will change your life! Musical Direction and Accompaniment by Jim Rice. Directed by Faith Prince.
ROD FERGUSON has spent the last decade as one of the Napoleon Room entertainers, showcasing his infectious laugh and comedic flair as he combines his ridiculous stories with popular songs from Broadway, Disney, and the Great American Songbook. According to Broadway World, Rod “should be headlining clubs, cabarets, and cruise ships all over the world,” but so far he has been more geographically selective, performing his cabaret shows in Boston, Provincetown, Rhode Island, and New York. In addition to cabaret, Rod has performed in stand-up and storytelling comedy shows in Boston and has done some theatre in New York. He also won a MAC Award for his cabaret show “MAN OVERBOARD!!!!”
JIM RICE has been a favorite of the Napoleon Room for over a decade and his one-man shows have been performed at The Arctic Playhouse’s Cabaret Club in Providence, RI as well as The Red Barn in Key West, Florida. Jim regularly accompanies many of The Napoleon Room entertainers including: Valerie Sneade, Colleen Powers, Carol O’Shaughnessy and Jan Peters.
In addition to his work here at Club Café, Jim is an accomplished and diverse conductor, music director, and arranger. Abroad, Jim has been Conductor of the European tour of Ken Hill’s Phantom of the Opera and nationally, Always Patsy Cline. Jim has performed in hundreds of theaters and concert halls throughout Europe and the United States and has performed in every state to date, except Hawaii.
