Sparkly People, Ugly Sweaters & a Great Cause

Sometimes actors come in and audition for TIC who have a real spark, and you know they're one to watch. That's how I felt when I met Kiwi Callahan earlier this year.

Kiwi is co-organizing an amazing benefit cabaret next week, called The Ugly Christmas Sweater Cabaret and Coat Drive. Check out this talented performer on Tuesday, December 4 at 7 pm at the Laurie Beechman Theatre (407 West 42nd Street). Reserve your spot at 212-695-6909 or read up at www.UglySweaterProductions.com.


And of course, Kiwi and I took this opportunity to talk all things holiday-themed...

TIC: Tell me about the Ugly Christmas Sweater Cabaret...
KC: Well, my super-talented friends Alison Rose Munn and Patrick Hudson and I are putting together a Christmas show entitled The Ugly Christmas Sweater Cabaret. We are totally excited about getting to do whatever we want onstage for once. We're doing the whole show ourselves--from getting the space to picking the music, and in some cases arranging and writing it. I think what we're most excited about, though, is that we've successfully partnered with New York Cares to make it an official coat drive and fundraiser for them. So instead of having a cover charge, we're collecting coats and donations. It's been so great working with them, and all three of us are so glad to be doing work that has meaning for us in so many different ways.

TIC: What are you hoping for from Santa?
KC: I'm hoping Santa stops by with lots of chocolate and some awesome boots.

TIC: Favorite holiday treat?
KC: Mint hot chocolate and pie.

TIC: Favorite holiday movie?
KC: It's a toss-up between "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Love, Actually."

Happy holidays, all!
