Bay Ridge singers hope to bring ‘Rhapsody’ to crowds at fundraiser
The Rhapsody Players, the popular Bay Ridge-based singing group that performs the greatest hits from the 60s, 70s and 80s, will be harmonizing for a good cause – to help kids get a foothold in the theater.
The Rhapsody Players will be performing in a special “This One’s For You” concert on Saturday, April 26 at St. John’s Episcopal Church Hall, at 99th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway, at 8 p.m. to raise money for the Betty Kash Memorial Scholarship Fund, a program established by the Narrows Community Theater (NCT) that awards grants to eighth graders interested in the theater and performing arts.
Kash, who died two years ago, had been a member of Narrows Community Theater for many years. The theater company, established 40 years ago, is dedicated to bringing musicals and plays to Brooklyn audiences at affordable ticket prices. Kash loved working with kids, according to members of the Bay Ridge-based theater company, who said she had a boundless energy and a bubbly personality that drew young people to her like a magnet.
