Busch to be Guest at 'Debra and Mary's Night on the Town'

Due to their success at The Cornelia Street Cafe last month, Debra and Mary are coming back to reprise DEBRA AND MARY'S NIGHT ON THE TOWN on May 19th at 8:30 p.m. at The Cornelia Street Cafe.

Debra Barsha (composer of RADIANT BABY at the Public Theater) and Mary Cleere Haran ("Cabaret's most literate chanteuse" - The New Yorker) perform an evening of song and witty repartee. Each week new songs, a different theme and one very special guest interview!
