We hope you are slowly and safely making your way out sheltering at home. And we have some wonderful entertainment suggestions and a great fundraiser for girls that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home. Speaking of which, if your home is in need of a makeover, here’s a win/win that gives you decorating advice and food to people in need! Valerie Smaldone has some wonderful theater and food resources today—just because Broadway is dark, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy theater experiences.

Carousel the Musical

This is the full musical of the 2017 version that played at the Imperial Theater.  With Jessie Mueller, the show featured the first black Billy Bigelow who got rave reviews as Joshua Henry. And there’s a show stopping performance by one of our favorite actresses, Margaret Colin, in the only non-singing role.

Company Broadway revival starring Raul Esparza

The best version of ‘company’ that I’ve ever seen starring Raul Esparza who was nominated for the Tony award for best actor in a musical… He won the drama desk award for his performance… In this version , the actors also play musical instruments… It was professionally videoed for PBS Great Performances… You’ll have a great time watching this!

Quarantine Cabaret and Cocktails Every Thursday Night

Quarantine Cabaret and Cocktails, produced and hosted by entertainer and LML Music founder, Lee Lessack, and actor and frequent SNL regular, Robert Bannon, made its debut nine weeks ago on Facebook Live. They duo has been hosting a star-studded group of performers every week since then, in the approximately hour long show, and the humor quotient has been very high, along with the music. The shows are live on Thursdays at 7:00PM EST. You can log on at: https://www.facebook.com/quarantinecabaretandcocktails/  

This week’s guests include activist Zoë Winkler, Mat Hayes, Diana DeGarmo & Ace Young.

Zoë Winkler, daughter of the Fonz, is founder of This is About Humanity, a charity dedicated to raising awareness about separated and reunified families and children at the border. Please click on the link above to read about the incredible work they’re doing.

Mat Hayes is an actor and all around film-making creative and activist, whose short film, Cognitive, was a recent feature at 23 international film festivals and a winner at five. Mat wrote and produced the film, which addresses a misunderstanding between a young LGBTQ person and his church, an issue which he revisits later in his life.

Diana DeGarmo & Ace Young are both “American Idol” alums from different seasons, and the only couple among the many singers who’ve taken that stage who’ve tied the knot. DeGarmo and Young, who met during their run in the Broadway revival of Hair, live in Nashville and do a lot of traveling and working together.
