TODAY'S FEATURE STORY
MARIA GENTILE CHOSEN TO BE SONGWRITER HONORED AT BIRTHDAY SHOW
Maria Gentile will be honored at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE'S 17th BIRTHDAY
SHOW as the first recipient of the DOTTIE BURMAN SONGWRITER AWARD.
Maria Gentile (AEA SAG ASCAP AFTRA) is a singer, songwriter, actress,
and comedienne who spent 6 years in the hit Off-Broadway show Tony
& Tina's Wedding as Bridesmaid Marina Gallino. In January of 2000,
she released her debut CD, So Many Pieces of Me, which features twelve
original compositions. Three of the songs from that CD can be heard
in the independent feature film In Passing, written and directed by
Kate Fitzgerald. From 1992 through 1997, Maria also worked for the
Center for Family Life in Brooklyn, where she taught improvisational
acting, vocals, and creative writing for in-school and after-school
programs. She also wrote over 30 songs for their original productions.
One of these, La Bodega, was performed at the Brooklyn Academy of
Music in the spring of 1997. The title song is featured on Maria's
first CD.
Maria has worked with Simply Elementary since 1998,
performing for schools all over the tri-state area. She recently
co-wrote the book and theme song for one of their new educational
workshops. Maria can be seen every Monday and Friday night at THE
DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438
- http://www.theduplex.com/
), New York's legendary cabaret and piano bar. At the Duplex, she
and co-writer Susan Campanaro had very successful runs with the
original show "The B is Broke," and its sequel "The B Don't Come
Here Anymore." Maria has completed her second CD of original songs,
entitled That... Which is Real. One of the tracks off the album,
"I'd Rather Never Know" was nominated for 2005 MAC Song of the Year,
and another, "Kindness Makes Me Cry," was named 2004 MAC song of
the year! Another composition, "If I Was a Boy" (co-written with
Caren Cole), was nominated for 2003 MAC song of the year. Maria
will be performing one of her songs at the show.
Performers scheduled to appear are Lennie Watts, Alice
Frazier, Jay Rogers, Francesca Amari, Bruce Clough, Michael Brill,
Esther Beckman, Rob Langeder, Karen Saunders, Karen Oberlin, Ruben
Flores and one of NYCs favorites, Sue Matsuki (who is helping us
with the program planning). Steven Ray Watkins will serve this year
as musical director. David Pellegrene will be at the piano before
the start of the show, starting around 6:00 pm as attendees are
being seated.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM/ABOUT CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
SIDEBAR AD SALE EXTENDED TO JULY 14th - 1 WEEK FREE WITH 3 PAID
You can advertise your show, your CD, your website or even yourself
with a home-page side-bar ad on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website
for less than $19 per week - and your ad will be seen by as many as
6000 viewers each day (based on our latest readership statistics).
In fact the square 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch ad is the perfect size to show
off your CD! Cost is $25 per week for the first three weeks, and the
4th week is free (no discounts on Side-Bar ads). There are a few rules,
and there is a limit as well. Only 5 home-page side-bar ads can run
each week and ads must be paid for in advance via PayPal. Of course
they must relate to cabaret, and I reserve the right to reject any
ad for any reason. The ad will appear only on the opening page of
the website - at the top of the right hand column. They will be displayed
top-to-bottom in the order paid for (do not send payment until you
receive a PayPal invoice - this will avoid my having to make a refund
if all slots are already sold out. Side-bar deal only through Saturday,
July 14th, 2007. To read details, specs and see sample side-bar ads,
go to http://svhamstra.com/BannerAdSale2007.shtml
HERE & THERE
It has been a full week since the last issue, and we have a lot of
news items to catch up with - and not a whole lot of time this morning
to write about them all. You see, I overslept! I awoke at 7:30 am
instead of my usual 6:30 am. I have been so busy with brain work"
over the long weekend, and when I was finally able to relax last night
I guess all my inner wake-up alarms got turned off. I am still a bit
groggy after two cups of coffee and a bowl of Raisin Bran!
Over the weekend I completely reorganized the membership
recording system by transferring all the names from 2006-2007 to
a new style database. In so doing, I discovered so many errors and
omissions I could weep! Of the nearly 400 names from last membership
year, about 100 had wrong or out of date information. Every new
member will receive a special e-mail as they join listing the information
I have on file, and asking them to fill in or correct anything missing
or wrong. Of the 68 members who joined for the new year, 17 have
already written back with corrections. One address I had on file
has been wrong for 3 years!
But the new system will enable me to send e-mails,
print and mail membership cards (including address labels) and create
member information for the website all in one operation (before
there were three separate database systems involved). It all had
to be done by hand, but fortunately only needed to be done once.
At the same time I have been busy all weekend filling
ticket orders for the 17th BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Here is what may be a final reminder: if you have
not yet purchased your ticket to the 17th BIRTHDAY PARTY of CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE, to be held starting around 6:00 pm on Friday July
6th at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440
- http://www.metropolitanroom.com/
), please note that there are less only 2 seats left! A few more
might become available, since four or five tickets were ordered
weeks ago and have not yet been paid for - I am sending another
e-mail to the purchasers later today warning that unpaid ticket
reservations will be cancelled soon and the tickets release for
sale to others.
I have planned a festive night, so I hope that if
you are in town that weekend (its the 4th of July 5-day weekend),
you will be able to attend. But you better hurry - only a few seats
remain.
Tickets are $35, but if you renew as a 2007-2008 member
at the same time, you need to pay only $20 per ticket - a $15 savings.
(SILVER membership/ticket combo is just $40 total - GOLD membership/ticket
combo is just $95.) Tickets must be purchased through the CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE website - the METROPOLITAN ROOM is not accepting
reservations for this event. For information and a ticket order
form, just go to http://www.svhamstra.com/NewsCH07070517th1.shtml
The CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE 17th BIRTHDAY PARTY is
sponsored in part by Jenna Esposito (http://www.jennaesposito.com/
), Rob Langeder (http://www.roblangeder.com/
), Suzanne Carrico (http://www.suzannecarrico.com/
), Julian Yeo (http://www.julianyeo.com/
), Eric Michael Gillett (http://www.ericmichaelgillett.com/
) and Matt Leahy (http://www.mattleahy.com/
)
Which brings us to our next topic. All 2006-2007 memberships expire
on July 5th, 2007 - no matter what date they were purchased. There
are two main reasons for this. First, with nearly 400 memberships
to keep track of (CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE is strictly a one-person
operation), it would be impossible to offer memberships that expire
on different dates throughout the year. Secondly, during the summer
months, banner advertising just about disappears. Simply to keep our
bills paid I need to run at the very minimum 10 banners on the website
each week. Currently there are far only 7 paid banners running. Some
weeks in July and August, the number of paid banners ordered falls
to just three!
So we try to make up the income shortfall by scheduling
our annual BIRTHDAY PARTY in July as well as the membership renewals.
This system was started in 2001 at the suggestion of several friends
I consulted, including the late Dottie Burman, who we will be honoring
on July 6th with a Songwriter Award in her name. 116 current members
(over 25%) are CHARTER members, having renewed their membership
each year since 2001!
I hope that you will rejoin as a 2007-2008 member
in the next few weeks and support our efforts to promote the art
and the artists of cabaret all over the world. For many performers,
CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE has been the only publication to regularly
publish news and reviews about their shows. Since we began publishing
in 1990 as the only publication to cover cabaret exclusively, thousands
of cabaret performers have been supported in their art through our
efforts. As the first website to cover cabaret exclusively, CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE continues to provide up to date news about the world
of cabaret to over 6000 daily visitors. Our bi-weekly newsletter
goes out to nearly 2500 subscribers. We are proud of our work -
and recognize, with sincere appreciation, that this has only been
possible through the faithful support of our members and advertisers.
You can read all about memberships - the benefits,
levels, etc., on the website by clicking on the button at the top
of every page marked "JOIN HERE". There is even a procedure by which
you can pay by a credit card (and maybe rack up a few frequent flier
miles or some dollar points). Of if you wish, just reply to this
e-mail with a renewal request (let me know if you want a $25 SILVER,
$75 GOLD, or $250 or more SPECIAL membership renewal) and I will
send you a PayPal "invoice" which you can use to pay using a credit
card or can print out and mail with your check.
Folks running banner ads for the next few weeks get an added bonus:
their banners are bing displayed about 2 to 3 times more than normally
- with only 7 paid banners running instead of the usual 10 to 15,
they get double display time. And this is why we have our membership
renewal time in July - we need to sign up new and renewing members
to make up for the usual drop off in banner advertising in June, July
& August. All current members will be receiving a reminder this weekend
that memberships expire for the 2006-2007 membership year on July
5th. You can help us keep our bills paid by joining or rejoining in
the next few weeks.
I am really happy that the tickets to the birthday bash are nearly
sold out - now I can divert all my attention to the details of the
party and cease the "publicity" phase (and avoid having to spend a
few hundred dollars printing and mailing fliers!). A big thank you
to all the folks who will be taking part for helping sell those seats.
Everyone is performing free of charge, and I know those attending
will see a terrific show. Special thanks to Sue Matsuki for letting
me share ideas with her and her amazing suggestions have been most
welcome.
I am also so excited to be honoring Maria Gentile
as recipient of our first DOTTIE BURMAN SONGWRITER AWARD. This was
a really touch decision, folks. I started with over a dozen names,
narrowed it down to four, and then asked for comments from a number
of cabaret friends who are about as passionate about songwriters
as I am. I guess what finally tipped the scales for me was reading
Maria's bio on her website - see the lead article at the top of
this issue. Not only does Maria share Dottie's love for songwriting
and performing, she also shares Dottie's dedication to mentoring,
teaching, using music and song to inspire others. The late Dottie
Burman was an important part of my life since CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
began - she even wrote an inspirational column in the early print
issues on "following your dreams" in performance. I am intent on
keeping Dottie's name and songs alive.
As I was lying awake last night lining up my thoughts for today's
issue, an interesting thought came to mind: It seems the news media,
and I guess the public, are far more interested in saving a pair of
whales in California - spending countless dollars, I am sure, to persuade
the beasts to go somewhere they apparently don't want to go - then
they are about the two homeless men that sleep in the park across
the street from my new apartment. Since moving to Manhattan from Queens
I have been appalled by the number of homeless people in the subways,
in the parks and on the streets. I realize that there is no simple
solution, but I also know that there must be a better way.
I am tired of waiting for an official press release (promised over
two weeks ago). So, here's the word that everyone has known but no
one wants to confirm: HELEN'S RESTAURANT, CABARET & PIANO LOUNGE (169
Eighth Avenue, NYC - 212-206-0609 - http://www.helensnyc.com/
) is closing at the end of June. I have been given several stories
- it will reopen in the fall after renovations; it will reopen under
a new name; it has been sold; the cabaret room will reopen but the
restaurant will be run by someone else; the space will be converted
to a gay Irish bar; etc. But the sum of all this is that the club
will close at the end of June. (Silence, as I wait for the next shoe
to drop.)
On the plus side, Bob Egan writes that on July 3rd, he will open his
new cabaret: BOB EGAN'S COSMOPOLITAN CLUB AT THE NEW HOPE INN (6426
Lower York Road, New Hope, PA - 215-862-5221 - http://www.thecosmopolitanclub.com/
). Bob writes: "Right now, we're in the process of building and redesigning
what will be an absolutely beautiful room. This entirely new performance
space will debut with one of cabaret's top entertainers, Ann Hampton
Callaway, with performances Tuesday through Thursday, July 3rd, 4th
& 5th, at 8:00 pm ($35 cover, $10 food/drink minimum - reservations
by credit card being taken at the number above 24 hours a day). The
new website is under construction, but will be up shortly. I will
announce a full slate of entertainment in the coming weeks, so bookmark
the new website now and check back regularly!"

Seen on West 46th Street last week: Danny Nak, formerly owner of DANNY'S
SKYLIGHT ROOM, looking quite relaxed and happy and chatting with a
few "suits" - could they have been real estate reps? Is Danny Nak
seeking a new location on Restaurant Row? Ominous side note for lovers
of Russian cuisine: he was standing on the sidewalk one door over
from the empty-most-nights FIREBIRD. I told him he "owed me an exclusive"
and he just smiled and winked. Stay tuned.
"Once in a Blue Moon" is a common way of saying not very often. According
to the popular definition, it is the second Full Moon to occur in
a single calendar month. The average interval between Full Moons is
about 29.5 days, whilst the length of an average month is roughly
30.5 days. On average, there will be 41 months that have two Full
Moons in every century, so you could say that once in a Blue Moon
actually means once every two-and-a-half years. Here in the USA we
are experiencing a "Blue Moon" - the first on May 2nd and the second
today, May 31st (most of the rest of the world has their pairing on
June 1st and June 30th. So HAPPY BLUE MOON, everyone!
We have a lot more stuff to say on a lot of topics near the bottom
of this newsletter that you might want to check out as well.

ABOUT CABARET NEWS IN THE NEWSLETTER AND ON THE WEBSITE
Information about other shows around the country and around the world
can be found on the CABARET NEWS page of the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
website. How do you get an item posted in the CABARET NEWS section
of the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website? Just e-mail me a press release
of at least four paragraphs, giving the complete information on your
show, CD release or other cabaret related event. Include photos in
jpg or gif format if available. Please send me complete information
- and do not merely e-mail me a copy of your flier or a reference
to a website.
By the way, I usually trim quotes from reviews from
the press releases I receive before using the item on my website
or in the newsletter, so don't count them when putting together
the four or more paragraphs. And, please, please don't send in your
press release with all those annoying html links (with embedded
photos, distracting backgrounds, etc.), or simply a .jpg of your
post card or as one of those "e-vite" things that require me to
"click to open" and lead to a web page somewhere. Just send in your
press release or listings request in simple .txt format (the format
I write these issues in and use for the website).
IT'S TIME TO GO
Near the top of this newsletter I promised that you would read things
in this issue you will not find published anywhere else. Did I keep
my promise?
Your membership donations support this publication and the CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE website. If you enjoy the fruits of our efforts and
would like to support us, why not join as a supporting member? Your
donation is most important to me, not just to pay for my food, cable,
phone, DSL and rent, etc., but also as a confirmation of your appreciation.
Can you please help?
For information on becoming a member of CABARET HOTLINE
ONLINE, just click on the JOIN HERE button on the website. You can
even make your membership donation by credit card, using PayPal.
If you prefer not to use a credit card and PayPal, you can send
a check made out simply to Stu Hamstra and mail it to CABARET HOTLINE
ONLINE, 676A Ninth Avenue #120, NY, NY 10036.
I realize that there is probably far more information here than you
might be able to digest in one reading, but please keep in mind that
for the performers mentioned, CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE is one of the
few publications that spread the word about their shows and performances.
To them, that item about their show is most important, and the fact
that every issue published is also posted on my website means another
place where they can be found by fans and search engines (Google,
etc.) alike. Your membership donations make this all possible.
Today I ended up with far more news than time, so if your item does
not appear in this issue, it may appear on the website in the next
few days - and then be included in the Monday issue. Thanks again
for everyone's support for the 17th BIRTHDAY PARTY show - last year
we had about 1 dozen tickets left just one week before the show. This
year, with more than a month to go, there are only a handful of seats
left. Thanks to you all!
And that is just about the way it was.
