Community volunteers will again produce one of Port Washington’s most anticipated events, the Red Stocking Revue. Singers, dancers, actors, stage crew, stage ad writers and many others work tirelessly to present an entertaining, unique and funny show that raises tens of thousands of dollars each year for CancerCare.
Every year the Red Stocking Revue signs go up around town, yet some still don’t know what to expect. Is it a dance recital? Is it a play, a talent show? Well, it is none of those, yet all of those. It is truly a unique and fun experience and one you will not want to miss.
This year’s theme, “RED-Stock” will feature musical numbers and skits that parody popular songs from the Woodstock Generation and the late 1960s.
“We are having so much fun rehearsing this year’s show,” Sue Bishop-Copeland, the director of the production, said. “This show will make you laugh out loud and have you singing along with every song.”
Every year, a Red Stocking Journal is published, with local advertisers from prior years renewing their support of this important cause and to advertise their businesses. Family and friends also place personal ads to acknowledge the hard work and talent of cast members or in memory of loved ones.
The journal offers many levels of ads at varying costs, so there is a price for everyone. Please email Debbie Cohen at dgcohen@cancercarepw.org for information about placing an ad in the journal, or go on our website, cancercarepw.org. The deadline for ad submissions is March 21.
Performances will take place on April 11-13 at 8 p.m. and April 14 at 2 p.m. in the Schreiber High School auditorium. General admission tickets are $25, seniors are $20 and children under 12 are $15 for all shows. Advance tickets may be purchased online at cancercarepw.org. Tickets are also available at the Schreiber box office prior to each performance.
If you can’t make the show but would like to make a donation and have your tickets donated, you can do so online. We share these tickets with our local senior citizens who like to see our show but cannot afford tickets.
This year’s 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. This enables Red Stocking Revue organizers to make a much greater donation to CancerCare.
CancerCare is a national organization that provides financial assistance, counseling, support groups and much more for people with cancer, their caregivers, loved ones and the bereaved. Visit cancercarepw.org to learn more or to contact us for help.
