CINDERELLA AUDIOBOOK PUBLISHES!!
For those of you following our Cinderella Saga, we published on February 20, 2024. After months of coordinating the many authors to read their own story, finding other Rehearsal Club sisters and young rising stars — like Julia Adams, Lucia Rogerson and Genevieve Wisdom — to read for women who have left us along the way, we finally married Blackstone Publishers and are now living life online everywhere.
CIRCLE OF CINDERELLA FRIENDS BALL! (well, cabaret)
After our decade-long journey from idea to publication, it’s been 18 years!! For me anyway. In 2006 my husband and I produced Circle of Friends for a dear friend slowing dying from a brain tumor. We gathered her friend to “put on a show!” And what a show it was! My boss at the time, partner at PBW&T, LOVED theater and his daughter wanted to be an actress. He financed the theater and Steve and I brought our Broadway friends together to play on stage. Bebe Neuwirth was our MC, Donna McKechnie Choreographed a bevy of Broadway Beauties, Harvey Even, Kurt Peterson, Stephen Schwartz, his wife, Carol, and my boss’s daughter, all turned out to do a turn on The Thalia stage. Kathleen Conry was one of our Broadway guests who asked me the fateful question after all was said and done, “Did you ever live at The Rehearsal Club?”
Kathy’s Fault! She was the pioneer and Pied Piper who brought our RC women together that same year. Maria Mallman, I came to learn, brought her own generation of women into this mix and has maintained the title Historian ever since — helping me today acknowledge and remember the many creative RC souls who are now dancing beyond those pearly gates in our CELEBRATION BALL (eh . . . cabaret).
IN THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS!!
THE GREENROOM 42 TICKETS
The Code above takes you directly to The Greenroom 42 ticket area — NOOOO idea if we’ll sell out, but suggest getting your tickets early!
CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN
The above code takes you to our not-for-profit, crowdfunding campaign.
Yup! Talent costs $$$. Everything we’ve done thus far has been a “Labor of Love.” Our books getting published. Labor of Love. None of us are household names — even tho Blythe Danner did write our “Foreword,” for the most part, our names won’t sell tickets. Collectively? Yeah. We harness each other’s energy and raise all of us up. Same way Michael Bennett did for all the chorus dancers in A Chorus Line. We each had an identity by the end of the show. Same with this book. We hope you get to “know” us.
And maybe recognize us working again “out there!”
Meanwhile, help us make our Ball the BEST IT CAN BE. We had some fun figuring out the “perks,” using Cinderella Characters, like “Gourmet Gus” who represents the homemade baked goods our women will create for you. And the French mouse “Jaq” who ees sooo smart, ‘e knows a good theeng ven ‘e sees eet . . . like Charla’s Cinderella “Match the Memoir” Card . . .
Each icon represents a story in the book! Hint: My story, Greenhorn Texan, matches the motorcycle.
Jaq perks feature other art from Cinderella Christopher Callen (On A Mission), Mayron Goods from Melanie (The Brass Ring) and a beautiful, organic Arbonne Basket of facial goodies from Cinderella Friend, Mary Lou Barber.
Then, of course, we get to the higher levels of perks bringing you autographed Cinderella Books, exclusive signature baseball jerseys, tickets to the show, invitation to Joe Allen’s brunch with the cast and other delightful surprises. Bottom line? Help us make magic on the stage for everyone involved!! Oh! And we’re STREAMING! Doesn’t matter where you are in the country — or Europe (I hear I still have Guiding Light fans following me in Italy!). So yeah!
