BWW Reviews: Community Rallies with FIGHT LIKE A GIRL: A CABARET FOR CARLA YOUNG
If you've ever been involved with theater you know what a tight family is formed from crew to actors to the creative team. So when one of your theater family members needs a little help, the entire community rallies. In November 2006, Carla Young was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Her doctors told her she had no more than six months to live. It's now January 2013 and Carla is still fighting. The caberet's host, Jamie Donmoyer, explained that the idea for this benefit came when she visited Carla at the hospital and simply asked, "So, is anyone paying your bills?"
Performers from Theatre Downtown gathered on January 28, 2013, to fundraise and celebrate Carla's work as a local Stage Manager on 23 shows at Theatre Downtown. This cabaret was not just a collection of great songs, but vibrant performance that perfectly tributed Carla's work, personality, and journey.----
April 2013 Update: Carla passed away on April 13. Her family and close friends asks for donations to http://www.theatredowntown.net/ in lieu of flowers.
