NY Loves Nola

The French Quarter is relocating to Noho for one night only. Spend tonight in solidarity with your friends from New Orleans and the ravaged Gulf coast at NY Loves Nola, a benefit for the American Red Cross. There’s a Cajun buffet in the restaurant upstairs, and a seven-hour marathon performance in the Ace of Clubs venue downstairs. Participants include Charles Busch, John Cameron Mitchell, Kevin Aviance, Penny Arcade, Madame, Scott Nevins, Creation Nation, Lisa Jackson, Meat, the Duelling Bankheads, Da Lypstixx, David Gurland, Xavier, Karen Mack, the casts of Joy, NYMF’s Rooms, and FringeNYC’s Fleet Week, among others. Over 3 dozen artists have already confirmed, with more signing up daily. There is something for everyone: rock, musical theater, pop, cabaret, comedy, drag, performance art, and more. All profits from the bar will be donated to the cause.
