Must RSVP by the Friday before

$55 admission includes a three-course lunch payable at the door by cash or check only

STEPHANIE POPE is a MAC Award Nominee and 11 Broadway show veteran. She recently completed a return engagement by popular demand at New York’s 54Below with her show, LIVIN’ IT UP!, directed by Broadway legend Ben Vereen. The Times Square Chronicle called it“...a triumphant, soul-bearing evening.” She has appeared on television, in film, and most notably, on Broadway in shows that include CHICAGO (Velma Kelly), FOSSE (Leading Player), and Chita Rivera’s stand-by in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, to name a few. She has shared the stage with luminaries such as Donna McKechnie, MariLu Henner, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Clint Holmes, Karen Ziemba and Gregory Hines. She has performed on cabaret stages across the country and around the world, including the UK’s Royal Albert Hall. "Her joy in performing is so apparent, her desire to share herself with an audience is so palpable that they can't help but like...no LOVE her. Of course, it doesn't hurt one bit that she is outstandingly beautiful, possesses really great pipes that can go from mellow emotion to playful, lilting jazz, and moves with the grace of a panther on the prowl..." - Backstage
