2025-05-10 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Stissing Center for Arts & Culture, 2950 Church St, Pine Plains, NY, 12567, United States
Ann Talman brings her award-winning show Elizabeth Taylor and The Shadow of Her Smile to Stissing Center for Arts & Culture on Saturday, May 10 at 7PM and Sunday, May 11 at 3PM! Talman will share hilarious and touching stories about her special bond with Miss Taylor, woven with Broadway and Great American Songbook gems. The show features musical director Alex Rybeck on piano and is directed by Lina Koutrakos.
Ann Talman is an actor, singer, storyteller, award winning documentary filmmaker, and four-time Broadway veteran. She joined Actors’ Equity with co-star Elizabeth Taylor in 1981 when she landed the plum role in The Little Foxes playing Taylor’s daughter on Broadway. The show traveled the world for eighteen months and their loving friendship lasted for the rest of Miss Taylor’s life.
Ann Talman: Elizabeth Taylor and The Shadow of Her Smile received critical and audience acclaim when it debuted at 54 Below in March 2022 and then again when it enjoyed a two-night encore engagement the following September, 2022. It has played Laurie Beechman Theatre in NYC, Feinstein’s Hotel Carmichael in Carmel, IN, Feinstein’s Hotel Nikko in San Francisco, Chicago’s Davenports, Joe Brancato’s The Penguin Rep, Chicago’s Davenport’s, The Delray Beach Playhouse, The Westport Country Playhouse, Tucson’s Invisible Theatre, DC’s The Liz, The Austin Cabaret Theatre, Theatre Jacksonville, and will soon be appearing at ACT 2PV in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico, and at Crazy Coqs in London, England.
“Elizabeth loved cabaret,” says Ms. Talman. “If she were alive, she’d be here right now holding court!”
“I had the great pleasure of seeing Annie’s beautiful, poignant, and funny show,” shares actress Kate Burton. “She nailed the gleaming and mercurial light that was….my stepmother! I laughed and cried in equal measure.”
“I had a wonderful time watching this catchy, revealing and tuneful tribute to a time well spent with one of the screen’s most revered icons. I could see Elizabeth Taylor and The Shadow of Her Smile again and again. It’s a unique and delightful experience” says Rex Reed. “Like Halley’s comet sailing across the deep dark sky, a wonder to behold, Ann Talman sails across the stage and into our hearts in Ann Talman: Elizabeth Taylor and The Shadow of Her Smile.”

Linda Mironti sings "Perfectly Imperfect"
2025-05-07 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Don’t Tell Mama, 343 West 46th St, New York, NY, 10036, United States

So Many Colors - Embracing your Essence
2025-05-06 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Don’t Tell Mama, 343 West 46th St, New York, NY, 10036, United States
What is your essence? What is essence? What does that even mean? Our spirit essence is the energy that lives inside of all of us. Or Stevie Wonder said, “Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories.” Or this thought from Nietzsche, “The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.” And individually, those indisputable qualities that we each posses and which are instantly perceptible to others and authentic to us alone.
Cynthia Shaw explores these ideas in her own life as well as the lives of others in this thoughtful, harmonic, joyful, funny and life affirming cabaret show of song and storytelling.
“Rigorous and personal storyteller.” The Scotsman
“She is charming and relatable.” Fringe Review

Music has a way of pointing us in the right direction — if we’re willing to listen. In her solo cabaret debut, Janice McCune shares the songs that have nudged, challenged, and encouraged her along the way. With warmth and wit, she explores the magic of letting music be her guide.
With musical director John Fischer on piano, Let’s Start Tomorrow Tonight! features songs of Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, Stephen Sondheim, Rod Temperton and more! Directed by Lennie Watts.

2025-04-06 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Pangea, 178 2nd Ave., New York, NY, United States
My St Paddy’s luck continues. Tim Connell’s Lucky Me 🍀 has been invited to be a part of Origin 1st Irish Theatre Festival 2025.

In this critically acclaimed show, the 2023 Bistro Award-winner and 2025 & 2023 MAC nominee, offers an evening full of song, story, poetry, wit and genuine Irish sentiment. Connell is a gifted storyteller who, when he comments on our life and times, is unfailingly honest, courteous and insightful. According to Alix Cohen, “he’s a find… and oh that lustrous voice!”

The evening includes songs from contemporary Irish singer/songwriters (Gilbert O’Sullivan, Damien Rice, Van Morrison), Broadway (George M!, A Man of No Importance, Finian’s Rainbow), and of course some good ol’ reliable pub songs. Tim is joined by music director James Followell on piano and Seoyen Im on fiddle/violin.

In the words of recent audience members, “Charles has a wonderful and easy-going ability to perform a variety of iconic songs from Broadway and pop music with a personal connection to each.” “A charming, very enjoyable show full of great American standards and some little- known gems.”

Shadows
2025-04-05 16:00 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | Don’t Tell Mama, 343 West 46th St, New York, NY, 10036, United States
“Shadows” gives us a peek behind the curtains and an opportunity to celebrate the singers who stood center stage inside the smoky clubs, speakeasies and cabarets of the 1940’s. In “The Golden Era of NIghtclubs” live music thrived in intimate settings that felt raw and real. The singers’ voices were integrally woven into the fabric of the times. Inside the club, the music told stories, people were transported, and the energy was always electric!
Originally debuted in 2024 at the Provincetown CabaretFest, “Shadows” (previously named “Do Nothin’ Til you Hear From Me,”) has since premiered in Boston to rave reviews before coming to Don’t Tell Mama’s for this NYC debut.
Cabaret Scenes Review:
Lisa “swung, crooned and balladeered her way through the Great American Songbook as if born to it…. Her relaxed and comfortable on-stage presence enables us to just sit back and luxuriate in her silky alto and soft vibrato and her occasional well-placed jazz inflections that shimmered.”
Cabaret Scenes, December 2024, John Amodeo
