DCCN
Presents More New Music for Cabaret & Musical Theatre
The Washington,
DC Area Cabaret Network (DCCN) is doing it again! Bringing together
the areaís best and brightest musical performers with some of the
countryís up and coming songwriting talent for "Stop the Presses II!!
More New Music for Cabaret & Musical Theatre," on Sunday, June 13th
at 7:30 pm at the H STREET PLAYHOUSE (1365 H Street, NE, Washington,
DC - 800-494-TIXS - http://www.Boxofficetickets.com/
). Tickets are $15.
The first
Stop the Presses evening was held in June of 2002 to great acclaim.
The idea behind the event is to bring the rising generation of composers
to the attention of the public.
The Network
received over one hundred submissions from around the country for
this year's event. Of those twenty four were chosen for inclusion
in the show. Washington, DC Area Composers are amply represented,
with work by Terri Allen, Eric Wenocour, and Todd Hahn, Barry Biern
and Emily Spitz, James McCully, and Clark Maylone included in eveningís
offerings. Some well known New York City names contributed material,
among them Sally Mayes, Steve Ross, Erv Raible and Shelley Markham,
Pam Tate, Joshua Cohen and Dottie Burman. The New England area is
well represented with material by composers Barbara Brilliant, Dennis
Livingston, Stephen Murray, Krisanthi Pappas and Barry Rosenberg of
Massachusetts, and Jay Gitlin and Ginny Bales of Connecticut. Rounding
out this varied group of writers are Andrew Sussman of Pennsylvania,
and Mel Nelson of California.
Performing
the material will be a stellar cast of area performers: Susan Allen,
Terri Allen, Wendy Lane Bailey, Beverly Cosham, Christina Crerar,
Steven Cupo, Emily Everson, Colin James, Eduardo Placer, Scot Reese,
Joanne Schmoll, Judy Simmons, Tim Tourbin, and Christy Trapp. Six
time Helen Hayes award nominee George Fulginiti-Shakar music directs
this lively and capable group of performers.
The Cabaret
Network has a deep ongoing commitment to not only see that the the
songs of the great American Songbook are preserved, but that the canon
is added to. It is their hope that this evening is just one of many
to come.
