Urban Stages - Winter Rhythms
It all began in 2008. As small music venues closed in NYC, new spaces for cabaret, jazz and musical theater were vital. With current Director of Musical Theatre Sue Matsuki at the helm, Urban Stages is a home for musical artists. Every single December, our annual festival sees over 100 artists take the stage. From stars to newcomers, we simply focus on giving talent a spotlight. This means Winter Rhythms always has an eclectic line-up, from tribute shows to jazz jams to new musicals to any genre you can imagine. Better still, all proceeds go directly to spreading free and affordable art, theater and education throughout NYC via our Outreach Program (learn more here).
Winter Rhythms’ growth has been astounding. The festival has received the 2015 Ruth Kurtzman Benefit Series Award, the 2016 Bistro Award for Best Benefit Series, a Time Out Critic’s Pick, a feature in Cabaret Scenes and other recognitions of excellence.
This year 4 Original Stars of Broadway’s GREASE will entertain you with songs and stories from the original production plus additional material from their long careers. A. Show not to be missed.

at The Century Club on November 9, 2024.
Details at: www.afroghouse.org/event
A FROG HOUSE - is a center for local Advocacy, worldwide Collaboration, and ecological Education. We work on behalf of amphibians and the citizens of upstate New York, advocating for chemical free properties, clean water, and healthy wetlands. Our projects include planting trees, restoring vital habitats, and building frog ponds.
We offer workshops and events for all ages to learn about the crucial role of frogs in the environment and to educate people about methods of environmental protection that they can get involved in. We believe every small collective action can bring big results to our world. We focus on wellness for our community, collaborating with others interested in ecosystems and, in particular, mental health.
Yes, we are back again at The Century Club this year, fundraising for one or more Vernal Ponds to mitigate climate change, encourage biodiversity, (especially a suitable habitat for FROGS), and provide a plethora of outdoor nature learning opportunities for everyone who lives in or visits Pittsford, NY.
Those of you who were at the Gala last year surely remember the fantastic food and setting. We are going to outdo ourselves for you once again.
Will you be one of our supporters in any of many ways from now through the actual installation of the ponds? We can’t really be sure of anything, except each other. November is bound bring hurricane winds of turmoil, whatever the result following the election. In the meantime, we can still celebrate love, warmth, , the peace of friendships and honor life, one frog at a time.
We hope to see you there!
