Hey there,

So, Marc Maron’s amazing podcast WTF (which understandably has some explicit language on it, so please be aware) this week features his interview with Edie Falco. If you’re not aware of this podcast, he does long form interviews with people (mostly comedians, but also musicians and actors, and on one especially memorable episode, President Obama), about their background, their influences and their careers. It is not surprising then that the discussion with Edie Falco should eventually touch on her involvement with The 52nd Street Project. It’s an all around good episode, and of course we’re especially proud to be discussed in this very nice way. The part about the Project starts around an hour and ten minutes in, or so. There’s also a lovely follow-up comment from Marc during his wrap up at the very end. Check it out:

Edie Falco hosting our gala in 2016.

Recently, we were invited to participate in a TEDx series about the Broadway and Off-Broadway community. We were happy to bring our perspective to the conversation and Gus gave his talk about the value of kid generated art. In order to illustrate his point, he brought along a performance of one of Ricardo Currin’s songs, The Dancing Ice Ballerina, which debuted at our Songmaking concert last fall, and was reprised again at our gala on May 8. The music is by Wes Braver, and it is performed by music director Avi Amon, and singer Andy Danh.
