We’re thrilled to welcome Therese Lee, the 2023 Bistro Award-winner for Outstanding Autobiographical Show, back to our stage! Her one-woman-show, ‘Riding The Bus To The Red Carpet’ recalls her days in Los Angeles as an entertainment reporter too broke to own a car, and shares how her interactions with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars during that time changed her life forever.

The show includes an eclectic set of songs from such songwriters as Jerry Herman, Richard Maltby & David Shire, Cy Coleman, Diane Warren & Lady Gaga, Patty Griffin, John Prine and more. Joining Therese on stage is Music Director Doug Peck, a Los Angeles-based musician and educator. He has appeared in concert with Renée Fleming, Heather Headley, Michelle Williams, Shemekia Copeland, John Prine, Matthew Polenzani, Kristin Chenoweth, and Ernestine Jackson, among many others. The show is directed by Jeff Harnar, a multiple MAC, Bistro and Broadway World Cabaret Award winning Director, recipient of The Noel Coward Foundation Cabaret Award and the 2022 Chicago Cabaret Professionals National Honoree.

Join us at the table for an evening filled with celebrity stories, and a poignant musical journey through Hollywood! The event will begin with a three-course culinary feast, curated by our own Chef Dave, and culminate in this intimate, heartfelt award-winning performance. Our chef will gladly accommodate dietary restrictions with advanced notice. As always, the cocktails, beer and wine will be free-flowing and are included.
