Lisa Lampanelli News

This winter 2018, the talent performing at New Hope's RRazz Room at The Clarion is a diverse mix of world class artists. From Las Vegas Entertainer Of The Year and Grammy Nominee Clint Holmes, the always hilarious Judy Gold, Tony Nominated Broadway Star & American Idol Finalist Constantine Maroulis, TV's Carson Kressley along with Dance Music Artist Kristine W in their new show 'Stand Up With A Twist', and cabaret/ theatre pioneer & MAC Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Sharon McNight , there is something for all entertainment tastes at the intimate and comfortable Rrazz Room New Hope, located within the newly refurbished Clarion Hotel & Suites. There is nothing quite like the connection between the performers and their audience in an up close and personal cabaret setting.

This winter 2018, the talent performing at New Hope's RRazz Room at The Clarion is a diverse mix of world class artists. From Las Vegas Entertainer Of The Year and Grammy Nominee Clint Holmes, the always hilarious Judy Gold, Tony Nominated Broadway Star & American Idol Finalist Constantine Maroulis, TV's Carson Kressley along with Dance Music Artist Kristine W, and show business royalty Marty Allen (Celebrating His 96th Birthday), there is something for all entertainment tastes at the intimate and comfortable Rrazz Room New Hope, located within the newly refurbished Clarion Hotel & Suites. There is nothing quite like the connection between the performers and their audience in an up close and personal cabaret setting. 

Gabrielle Stravelli and Billy Stritch are delighted to make their first appearance together at The RRazz Room New Hope in 'Down For Double'. The pair met at the BirdlandJazz Club Cast Party in 2012 and have since collaborated on two shows at the 92nd Street Y, headlined a concert with the Santa Rosa Symphony and spent many spontaneous Monday evenings making music together in the 'jazz capital of the world'. For 'Down for Double' Stravelli and Stritch have mined the Great American Songbook for beloved classics like 'I Wish I Were in Love Again' and 'Goody Goody' and more than a few lesser-known gems. The show features the pair's seamless vocal blend, tight harmonies, scat singing and playful banter and promises to be an unforgettable musical evening.

Northern Stage announced today that WP Theater (formerly Women's Project Theater) is among the five winners of an unprecedented new grant to support women artistic directors in professional theaters across the United States. The BOLD Theater Women's Leadership Circle, led by Carol Dunne, Producing Artistic Director of Northern Stage, will provide $1.25 million of support for Northern Stage and four other theaters run by female artistic directors during the 2018-2019 season. Each theater will receive a $250,000 grant. 

It's not often you have the chance to preview a show that's shrouded in such mystery, that even the cast doesn't know the full story. But that's exactly what happened in the case of WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT. This solo play written by Nassim Soleimanpour, follows a simple, yet possibly terrifying formula. A different actor is scheduled to perform each evening. That actor is finally given the script the moment the curtain rises. They have no idea of the plot or the story until they're standing in front of an audience. Fittingly, most of the audience isn't sure what the show is about either.

Baltimore Center Stage has announced upcoming performances of the theatrical event White Rabbit Red Rabbit in the intimate, experimental Third Space. Among the most talked-about and also least talked-about plays, White Rabbit Red Rabbit is an utterly original, wildly imaginative theatrical experience.

RISK! is a live show and podcast where people tell true stories they never thought they'd dare to share in public hosted by Kevin Allison, of the legendary TV sketch comedy troupe The State.

Though her aggressive style of dishing out insults has earned her the title of standup comedy's Queen of Mean, Lisa Lampanelli comes somewhat closer to being the Empress of Empathy in her comedy revue about the serious subject of food and body image, STUFFED.

Playwright and comedian Lisa Lampanelli and producer Rachel Karpf announced today that STUFFED will play its final performance Off-Broadway on Sunday, November 19th at the Westside Theatre (Downstairs, 407 West 43rd Street).
