I was extremely happy to see The Sing-Off!! This is the stuff of which true drama and great music are made!! Good people ready to serve others who are all about giving the best they have to thei audiences. Thanks to my younger sister Elena, I was clued into the aamazing Sing-Off culture. I met Maxx Factor, Noteworthy, the Beelzebubs, Nota, the Voicers of Lee, and the SoCals. I have the feeling that these amazingly hardworking and talented people will be my friends for life!! We watched the drama unfold together as a family during the Christmas holiday. We soaked up the refreshing vocal arrangements and performances like they were nectar. We revisited some of our favorite songs as seen through the lens of a capella. We discussed, debated and gave our own critiques, which we liked just as much or more than those of the judges. We came away better people.

Singing Christmas music tonight with friends!!! Let me know if you need the address. See you soon!

Check it: www.ourtimetheatre.org. A super awesome cool theatre company for kids age 8-18 who stutter. Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perdido Street Station by China Mieville Actually, the book I read was Un Lun Dun by China Mieville; I couldn't find it on Goodreads. This was a wonderful read. Great themes, fun plot twists, interesting characters (almost too many to remember), clever use of language, and a satisfying ending. I'm interested to try more by China Mieville.

Last night was our biggest audience at Don't Tell Mama so far! I had so much fun with my fellow performers and heard some GREAT new tunes. Seth Bisen-Hersh is just lovely. Sang a couple of my ALL time favorite songs to sing, Beginning to see the Light and the Trolley Song. I LOVE having Denise as our tech and sound person. She's so helpful in every way.

So interesting to see the Speech/Language/Cognitive/Attention/Memory deficits enacted by the protagonist in the movie 'Random Harvest.' Love the ingenue. She's a fabulous speech language pathologist :)

Friends!!!! I just got word that we can have a sweet venue at the Bruce Garden in Inwood this month. This is a BEAUTIFUL location, and easy to get to. We'll most likely be doing a fabulous show with something to please everyone in your family.... Looking forward to our next get-together!!!!!!!!! Lisa

Come to Don't Tell Mama 343 W 46th St (bet 8th and 9th) on August 26 (7-8ish pm), August 28 or 29 (7:30-8:30ish pm) for some really fabulous entertainment! What is cabaret, you say? Here is the definition from wikipedia: Cabaret is a form of entertainment featuring comedy, song, dance, and theatre, distinguished mainly by the performance venue — a restaurant or nightclub with a stage for performances and the audience sitting at tables (often dining or drinking) watching the performance being introduced by a master of ceremonies, or MC. And Lisa's cabaret will be wonderful!!!! We are planning on doing some tunes from Starting Here, Starting Now... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starting_Here,_Starting_Now AND some luscious songs made famous by Judy Garland and other greats. You will love this show!!! $7 cover charge ($3 students, $12 families) plus 2 drink minimum. See you there!

I've spent the last approximately 48 hours in the Dominican Republic!! I can still hardly believe it. It feels a little bit like New York, because of all the Dominicans, a little bit like San Diego, because of the beach, and a little bit like Europe, because there are lots of Eurpoeans and I'm sort of hosteling and backpacking. Oh my goodness, though, the water is so clear I can't even believe it. It's amazing to be able to see everything all around you when you swim! I want to do some more snorkeling, for sure. And check out the authentic salsa/meringue etc. That's what I'm talking about. Cheers. Lisa

This is a video from my recent cabaret at Don't Tell Mama. The quality is a bit watered down, so I will see if I can get something with a little more fidelity. I loved performing at Don't Tell Mama! The venue was beautiful, and the staff there were helpful and kind. What a wonderful way to start my New York Cabaret career :)
