The Laurie Beechman Theatre was the site of “An Old-Fashioned Barn Raiser” for Singnasium, the brainchild of Lennie Watts. (See our Q&A with Lennie: a-conversation-with-lennie-watts.) The sold-out audience was treated to over 20 performers raising their voices to raise funds for this new endeavor, with the goal of “Keeping the arts ALIVE by helping artists THRIVE.” The mission of Singnasium is to provide a safe, non-judgmental place for artists of all levels to fully explore their creative selves. It is designed to provide support, embrace diversity, and offer eye-opening new ways of becoming a more well-rounded musician, with classes and workshops spanning all aspects of vocal performance. Singnasium will utilize the best possible teaching artists and support personnel that the New York arts community has to offer, as well as provide outreach to the next generation of artists. Lennie, is joined by Lynly Forrest, Kim Grogg, and John Koprowski working tirelessly to provide a home for performing artists.
