DO YOU CARE ABOUT MOVIES, SHAKESPEARE, AND BLUES IN JJ BYRNE PARK?

What about Brooklyn Reading Works, Piper Theater, The Little School of Moving Pictures, historical and educational events and a great party space at the Old Stone House?

Then support the Old Stone House by attending a ravishing musical event. Capathia Jenkins and Louis Rosen perform  South Side Stories. JUNE 16 at 8 p.m. at the Old Stone House on Fifth Avenue between 3rd and 4th. 40 bucks gets you a great show, a lot of good karma for supporting free arts in the Park, as well as champagne and light refreshments.
Here’s a note from Louis
DEAR BROOKLYN FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS:
I wanted to let you know that my splendid collaborator, Capathia Jenkins (a 2007 Drama Desk Award nominee), and I are scheduled to perform our second benefit concert on behalf of The Old Stone House on Saturday night, June 16th. The proceeds will go to supporting The Old Stone House’s rapidly growing arts programming, including this summer’s Piper Theatre at OSH production of Macbeth, Brooklyn Film Works and the excellent Brooklyn Reading Works.

The performance will mark the Brooklyn concert premiere of the songs from our recently released and highly acclaimed debut recording, South Side Stories, songs of youth, coming of age and experience, inspired by the Chicago neighborhood where I grew up. We’ll also be offering a "sneak preview" of a excerpts from my newest work for Capathia, Giovanni Songs, on words by the renowned poet Nikki Giovanni. Capathia and I will be joined by two splendid musicians, the pianist Kimberly Grigsby, and Dave Phillips on acoustic and electric bass.
The evening is being billed as a "Champagne Cabaret," which means champagne and dessert will be served at 8 pm, and the concert will begin at 8:30. Last year’s benefit sold out as the room only holds 90 people so we hope that you make the scene.

The Old Stone House is at J. J. Byrne Park at 3rd Street and 5th Avenue.
Tickets are $40 in advance, $45 at the door.
Advance tickets can be purchased online at www.nycharities.org, or you can RSVP by calling 718 768 3915.
By the way, the South Side Stories CD s now available for downloading at www.itunes.com, www.rhapsody.com and most other online sights, as well as available for purchase at www.cdbaby.com, and in Park Slope at the Community Bookstore on 7th Avenue.
Best Regards,
Louie
