Don't Miss CancerCare's Red Stocking Revue April 14-17

This wonderful community production of local talent is one of the most anticipated events each spring in Port Washington.

Singers, dancers, extras, producers, stage crew, stage and journal ad organizers and many others work tirelessly to present an always entertaining, always unique show that raises tens of thousands of dollars each year for CancerCare.

The theme of this year’s performance is “The Tonight Show,” featuring performances by hosts through the decades and their guests. All shows will take place April 14-16 at 8:00 p.m. and April 17 at 2:00 p.m. in the Schreiber High School auditorium located at 101 Campus Drive in Port Washington. General admission tickets are $20 for all performances. Tickets for seniors and children are $15 for Thursday and Sunday shows. Reserved Patron seating is $30 per ticket.

The show will again be underwritten by The Peter & Jeri Dejana Family Foundation. This generous donation will help offset printing of tickets and journals, advertising costs and production expenses. The Dejana Foundation is, therefore, enabling Red Stocking Revue organizers to donate a much greater amount to CancerCare.

“I am very honored to have been asked to be the Director of the Red Stocking Revue again this year. Our cast of about 80 volunteers range in age from 5 to 80+ and are truly amazing people! They have been learning lyrics, singing, dancing, rehearsing, painting and building scenery, assembling and making costumes and raising money in order to put on an amazing show to raise money for CancerCare,” Susan Bishop said. “This year’s show is quite entertaining and, as always, is family friendly. Please come and support us, you won’t be disappointed!”

CancerCare provides financial assistance, counseling, support groups and more for people with cancer, their caregivers, loved ones and the bereaved. Tickets for any of the performances can be purchased at the door or online. Visit redstockingrevue.org for tickets or additional information, or call 516-606-0160.
