New York - If you remember the 70's, you weren't really there. This fall, The Storefront invites you to see what you may have missed when celebrated cabaret artist Karen Mack and pop music's critically-acclaimed Michael Holland join forces this fall presented "The Wit and Wisdom of the 70's" at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/) on: Thursday, October 25th at 8:30 pm, Thursday November 1st at 10:00 pm, Monday, November 5th at 9:15 pm, Saturday, November 24th at 8:00 pm and now it can also be seen on Thursday, December 13th at 8:00 pm. There is a $10 cover charge, and a two-drink minimum. No credit cards are accepted.

"The Wit and Wisdom of the 70's" was commissioned earlier this year by The Storefront to be performed as part of their Arts for AIDS project in southern Indiana. After playing to ecstatic, standing room only audiences there, the show will now make its NYC debut.

Developed by Ms. Mack and Mr. Holland, "The Wit and Wisdom of the 70's" is an overview of the music from the era of platform shoes and big earrings. Included in the evening is the work of legendary singer/songwriters ranging from The Carpenters to Billy Joel to Abba and Joni Mitchell. Classics such as "Jackie Blue," "Yesterday Once More," "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" and a searing rendition of Mitchell's "A Case of You" are performed within the context of newly arranged (by Michael Holland) medleys as well as solo pieces.

Karen Mack is the recipient of dual 2000 Manhattan Association of Clubs and Cabarets (MAC) Awards for Best Pop/R&B Vocalist and Outstanding Song of the Year for her composition "I Am Home," (for which she also won an ASCAP Award). Karen also won the 1999 MAC Award for Outstanding Female Debut. Her critically acclaimed show, "Serious Fun," played to praise in New York earlier this year. Composer and performer Michael Holland wrote, performed and produced the also critically-acclaimed album "Darkness Falls" as well as his earlier recordings "Everybody's a Jerk" and "Thank You for the Afghan." He is the co-founder of the celebrated vocal group Comfortable Shoes, who made their Carnegie Hall debut in May of 1999. In the Spring of 2001, Michael received the Blockbuster MP3 Award for Favorite Male Performer.

The Storefront was founded in December 2000 and is quickly becoming one of the hottest new companies in New York. The company's first ventures, "Taking the Wheel: The Music of John Bucchino," and "It's An Art: The Music of Stephen Schwartz," garnered rave reviews and sold out, downtown runs. Established with the intent of producing cabaret, musicals, plays, revivals, solo performance pieces and clever cocktail parties, the young company is off to a roaring start.
