All proceeds go to the Urban Stages Outreach Program, which brings over 300 free performances and arts classes a year to children, teens and adults.

Singer and actress, Danielle Grabianowski has been described as "one of those performers who can remind a listener of many predecessors yet instantly seems newly-minted," by The Huffington Post, "a complete original" by Edge New York and "an uncommon and uncommonly good actress" by BistroAwards.com. According to the Village Voice, "Danielle is cute as a silent film girl-next-door and talented as the likes of Bette Midler and Kristin Chenoweth." She has been noted for her "captivating sound and disarming manner" by NitelifeExchange.com and "arresting quality" by TalkinBroadway.com.

In 2008 Danielle won the first ever 1930's Idol competition and has performed with various theater companies around the country including the Georgia Shakespeare Festival, Bakerloo Theatre Project and Bigfork Summer Playhouse as well as in various readings and workshops of new musicals and plays in New York City.
