GREENWICH CHAMBER LAUNCHES MAJOR FUNDRAISER:
“GREENWICH HAS GOT TALENT” VARIETY SHOW
The Greenwich Chamber of Commerce has announced that its major fundraiser, Greenwich Has Got Talent, a variety show, will be held October 16-17. Area talent will be showcased as part of this family friendly event and will feature both adults and youngsters performing anything from songs and dance to comedy and magic.
“Greenwich has talent and the Greenwich Chamber of Commerce is pleased to showcase the known and unknown talent within this fine community,” said Mary Ann Morrison, President of the Greenwich Chamber of Commerce.
A portion of the proceeds from the event will go toward funding a scholarship for a Greenwich High School student who will be majoring in Business in college. The fundraiser is being chaired by Leah Mattoni, Jeff Weber and Scott Weiner, all of whom are local business owners or managers in Greenwich and who also serve on the Chamber board of directors.
“We are so excited about ‘Greenwich Has Got Talent’ and are confident it will be an event that will be so successful, it will grow each year and be a major revenue generator for the Greenwich Chamber, ” said Weber.
The co-chairs also announced the appointment of Greenwich resident Maria Kelly Stevens as Producer/Director of the variety show. She most recently choreographed the highly successful 2009 Central Middle School production of “Grease”.
Prior to that she is best known to the community through her involvement with St. Catherine’s Players. She was a founding board member and served as choreographer for over 26 productions working with ages 6-60. Locally, Maria has choreographed/directed for Greenwich County Day School, The Grace Notes, Summer Youth Festival, numerous nursery and elementary productions, the YWCA and Kids in Crisis. She has taught master classes at SUNY Purchase and has conducted classes/workshops both in Greenwich and New York.
She has a dance education background but has performed professionally throughout her career.
She has trained extensively with many dance/theatre legends in NYC and California and has performed in off-Broadway, summer stock, regional theatre, television and commercials.
Casting calls for the show will be held beginning later this month and will be announced within the next several days.
