Pictures from the Epic Talent Show Fundraiser

Posted on by Admin

I was blown away by the talent in this show. These incredibly gifted professionals volunteered their time to raise money and awareness for our non-profit performing arts/education organization, ViBe Theater Experience. It is truly heartwarming to see such a unique and diversified group of artists come together from all walks of life to support the teen girls of viBe Theater Experience.

Letters from the Board of viBe Theater Experience.

Posted on by Admin

Here are some emails I received from the Board of viBe Theater Experience in response to the money we raised via our Epic Talent Show….

Letter #1

“ANDREA!!! The energy is still a-buzz from last night’s talent show. You all indeed delivered the “EPIC”! You and your AH-MAZING team’s hard word, organization drive and passion for viBe clearly inspired everyone in the room. We are so thrilled and so humbled by your innovation and charge to mobilize so many people. We thank you! And please too share our most viBrant gratitude with your POWERHOUSE team!”

Letter #2

“Woohoo!!! nicely done, Andrea! You raise the bar every time you leave your house. Last night was a spectacular event – I’m not sure I’ll ever listen to “single ladies” in quite the same way. Such fun and energy. AWESOMENESS! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!”

Letter #3

“Kudos to Andrea and her team of amazing folk for creating such a terrific event for vibe – Thank you so much for your dedication and enthusiasm.”

Letter #4

“Andrea! Last night’s event was fantastic and joyful!  I had a BALL!  While there was certainly a wide diversity of talent on stage, the truth is the top talent of the night was you and your crew of organizers off stage. viBe is so fortunate to have your talent, creativity and enthusiasm – and of course your fundraising prowess! Many thanks for a job well done!”

Letter #5

“Dear Andrea: On behalf of the Board, our staff, and all the viBeGirls past and present, I’d like to thank you for your phenomenal work! Last night’s event was not only PACKED, but the show itself was unlike anything I have ever seen! …Your hard work and dedication to making last night’s event a success are greatly appreciated. Our viBrant thanks to you and your amazing team!!”

Meet The Parovivas:

We are THRILLED to have The Party Faithfulperform The Beatles’ “Because” in our EPIC Talent Show Fundraiser! “Because” has the most complex vocal harmony of any Beatles’ song. There are reports that it was inspired by Yoko playing The Moonlight Sonata for John. Dubious. This piece, (like Rufus Wainwright’s cover of Across The Universe), has gained in popularity over time due to the extraordinary rendition by the doomed uni-polar depressive Elliot Smith.Brooklyn’s The Party Faithful formed when Patrick Harmon (vocals, guitar) and Erica D’Andrea Gray (bass, vocals) combined their affection for post-punk-tinged anthemic rock with their affection for each other – they married soon after. The band has grown to a party of four with the additions of Karen Hou (piano, vocals) and drummer Pat Morin.

Whether on tape or on stage, the party pours forth lush emotion, lyrical labyrinths and soaring riffs, winning hearts and minds at shows across the city and along the northeast corridor. They’ve released the rollicking “Seven Cycles” EP, landed a track on Blast Radius’ 2009 compilation of Brooklyn bands you need to hear, and in January 2012 they unveiled their latest album, “Gold Light” (now available on iTunes and at shows.)
