These performances follow a similar event in April at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. The performances are intended to raise money for the medical care of former MAC Board of Directors member and graphic artist Gregory Kennell, who is still recovering from an illness he suffered last November that left him in a coma for two months and continues to affect his quality of daily life.

The Metropolitan Room is located at 34 West Gotham Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues. There is a $20 donation and a two-drink minimum. For reservations call (212) 206-0440. *

Those who are unable to attend but wish to donate may send checks (payable to Gregory Kennell) to Sue Matsuki at 16 Clifford Place, Brooklyn, NY, 11222.
