In the spirit of giving, come to Christmas Carolyn, a benefit performance for Scott Siegel's critically acclaimed concert events, Broadway Unplugged and The Nightlife Awards. The benefit concert on Dec. 22nd at the Laurie Beechman Theater is produced and hosted by Nightlife Award Winner Carolyn Montgomery-Forant.
According to mythology, the 'Phoenix' was a bird of great beauty, said to have lived 1,000 years in the Arabian wilderness. The Phoenix burns itself to ashes on an ancient funeral pyre, only to rise again from those ashes with the renewed exuberance of youth. Its renewed life cycle symbolizes the immortality of the spirit, the rebirth of idealism, the essence of creativity, and the aura of eternal hope. With her new show at the Laurie Beechman, Visible Phoenix (which opened October 17 and returned last Friday night), multi-award winner Carolyn Montgomery-Forant has returned to the cabaret stage (after a 14-year hiatus to raise her son and run a cafe business) as the very personification of that rare beautiful bird.
