Think of it as the opposite of karaoke: no one is handed a mic to sing all alone—we display the lyrics to the entire room and everyone sings together.
And, unlike karaoke, we don’t use canned knockoff accompaniment—we play the best-known recordings, and our guests sing along with the original artists!
We have designed the experience for musical theater fans age 40 and up; but&nbsp;Gotta Sing: BROADWAY is fun for all ages—as long as you love singing show tunes, you’re in!
Come early to enjoy a great meal at the restaurant before the event!

Hi Westchester families &mdash; Sarah Bonanno here. Originally from Pleasantville, Hackley alum, and now a CUNY PhD student in English, currently teaching college writing at Brooklyn College. I run <a href="bonannoworkshop.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Bonanno Writing Workshop</a>, a freelance writing tutoring practice for high school and college students. I'm currently working with a Pleasantville HS senior on academic writing and college prep, and figured I'd reintroduce myself more broadly as summer prep season approaches. 
 I made a free worksheet for the most common writing problem I see: a thesis that's true but too vague to argue. It walks through three tests (specific / contestable / significant) and the four traps thesis statements usually fall into.

<a href="bonannoworkshop.com/worksheet" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"></a> If your junior or senior is already mid-draft and stuck &mdash; or heading into college essay season this summer &mdash; I'm taking on a few new students. Sessions over Zoom or in person when I'm in Westchester. 
Happy to answer questions in the comments or via the website.
