Doris Dear is back with her annual Holiday extravaganza, ‘The Doris Dear Christmas Special’! This holiday favorite is in its 6th year and comes back as a LIVE IN PERSON SHOW at The Triad Theater in NYC on December 16, 17 & 18th at 7pm. 

Following the premiere at New York's Green Room 42, Tina Burner is bringing her hilarious live cabaret comedy show, Maybe This Time Live, to cities across the USA. 'New York City has not only been my home but the majority of where I have performed,' says the RuPaul's Drag Race star. 'This will be my first national tour and I am so ready for it!'

Blake Allen, known for his innovative bridging of contemporary music and theater through composition, performance, and storytelling, announces the release of his world premiere recording of the shards of an honor code junkie, distributed by No Reverse Records, September 17, 2021.

An American opera oratorio meets storybook album, the shards of an honor code junkie is an autobiographical story of a homosexual Mormon that embarks on a journey of self-love while challenging Brigham Young’s staunch Honor Code Rules, unhinging demons of drugs, sex, and suicide in a victorious coming-of-age story.

Now you can celebrate some holiday cheer and catch “The Doris Dear Christmas Special”, filmed live at The Triad Theater in NYC last December, and now streaming for a ‘Christmas in July’ celebration on Broadway on Demand.

Before she began lampooning the former president with song parodies, Jen Houston was singing in Manhattan clubs and honky-tonks, bringing Alt-Country to New Yorkers in cowboy boots. This 2015 release of her original songs is proof that she should be doing that work again.

Burner worked with BroadwayWorld Award winning arranger Blake Allen on the tracks, and they were filmed on location at Brooklyn's 3 Dollar Bill and in Mirrortone Studios, where Burner recorded her vocals. 

The history of show business is loaded with couples who work as well offstage as they do on. These twosomes have brought their offstage magic to the stages of the cabaret and concert world.
