LUCILLE CARR-KAFFASHAN IN 'FINDING HOME' DON'T TELL MAMA

---

Lucille Carr-Kaffashan returns to the cabaret stage in May in the lovely new room at New York City's legendary cabaret theater and piano bar, DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmamanyc.com/ ). Performance dates are Sunday May 4th at 3:30 pm, Saturday May 17th at 8:00 pm, and Thursdays May 22nd at 6:30 pm and May 29th at 8:30 pm. Along with musical director and accompanist, David Brunetti, Lucille will present four performances of her brand new cabaret show, Finding Home.

Finding Home, directed by Lina Koutrakos, explores the images and feelings that are associated with our concept of "home". The program reflects Lucille's diverse musical interests, featuring selections from musical theater giants such as Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, and Cole Porter, alongside those of contemporary singer-songwriters such as Randy Newman, Joni Mitchell, Billy Joel, Neil Sedaka, and Annie Dinerman.

Lucille's last cabaret outing was the critically acclaimed show, In My Life, A Celebration of Beatles Music. Lucille performed for a number of years in the regional productions of the New Jersey-based Entertainers Theater before developing her first cabaret act. Since her Don't Tell Mama debut in 1999, she has presented six different cabaret shows at clubs in New York City, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, including Don't Tell Mama, Mama Rose's, The Encore, The Meadows, Helen's, Odette's, and The Stockton Inn.

Born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island, Lucille grew up listening to the stories woven by folk music, Italian arias, musical theater songs, and the works of singer-songwriters such as The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor. While her early vocal training was primarily classical, with a focus on Italian and French arias and art songs, Lucille's cabaret work celebrates the Great American Songbook - both classic and contemporary. Drawn to expressive voices, beautiful melodies, and heartfelt lyrics, Lucille has found her artistic home on the cabaret stage.
