IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT:
The Love N' Courage annual benefit for Emerging Playwrights, Theater for The New City, was held last night at the Players NYC Club in Manhattan. Once again the Phenomenal Artist of All Time, Phoebe Legere served as Master of Ceremonies and Host to the sell out crowd.
Theater for the New City founder Crystal Field received a wonderful grant from NYC City Council Member Carlina Rivera for renovation of the cherished space on First Avenue.
Phoebe Legere shares her thoughts on hosting Love N' Courage Benefit:
"Thank you Crystal for giving me a place to create. After my Love and Courage monologue, I'll sing a medley of songs that come from my original feminist musicals produced by Crystal Field and TNC over the years ---including excerpts from "Hello Mrs. President," about the first female president of color (played by rock n roll Hall of Fame legend Laverne Baker) with me as the First Partner, and Shakespeare and Elizabeth, - seen on right with my brilliant co-stars Rhys Tivey and Michael LaPorta."
LAST NIGHT AT THE PLAYERS CLUB:
Said Phoebe Legere: Thank you to Phil Hackett (left) of Camden, Maine and NYC for making my Valentine's Day so fun! And....Thank you to Estelle Parsons, Crystal Field, David Amram, Terry Lee King, and everyone in our TNC family for making tonight the most beautiful and perfect Love and Courage Party EVER! I played the Steinway and sang My Funny Valentine and then I got out on the new Players Club stage and played accordion while singing very romantic Edith Piaf songs...then I ate Créme Brûle and laughed with Philip... Thank you to the Theater for the New City for inviting me to your marvelous Benefit!

Phoebe Legere: "I’ll be Master of Ceremonies at the Love N' Courage Benefit Feb 14 at the Players Club. Here I am in my musical Shakespeare & Elizabeth I play Elizabeth 1 & That’s my sister Bloody Mary played by theatrical genius Crystal Field."
