Peekskill, NY   See Map
Lisa was one of the very first Singer/Songwriters to grace our stage. As we approach our 3-year anniversary, we are so happy to have her back. Lisa has a voice that goes from soft to powerful. Her lyrics are filled with love, hope and wisdom and they all come straight from the heart. She has an impressive repertoire of original songs. We love when she sings "Fire and Water" and the Coat song... we've missed them! Lisa will perform originals as well as a few popular covers... she sings "Umbrella" better than Rihanna (in our humble opinion).

Tara Dougherty is a singer/songwriter who combines soulful vocals with a folk flavor. Tara's been playing on the New York City circuit for several years, exciting audiences with her poetic lyrics and a stage presence that immediately draws you in. Join us on the couch or for a relaxing dinner, and a special evening of original music by two beautifully talented songwriters.

Pawling, NY   See Map
Expect sparks to fly when West Kerry accordionist & singer Seamus Begley joins forces with Sligo fiddler Oisin Mac Diarmada. This duet of button accordion and fiddle might be a new collaboration, but both Seamus & Oisin have a distinguished past within Irish traditional music. Begley is the quintessential Irish musician, an eager storyteller known for his sharp wit and famous for pumping out tune after tune at all night sessions with an energy that is sometimes alarming. Displaying a frisky spontaneity in his accordion-playing, he has toured extensively with performers such as Altan, Steve Cooney and Mary Black. Fiddler Oisin Mac Diarmada, founder of noted group Teada, has been described by The Irish Echo's Earle Hitchner as "one of the most gifted and creative traditional fiddlers playing today." He has appeared as guest soloist with the Southern Georgia Symphony Orchestra in the US and accompanied Irish President Mary McAleese on a State visit to Romania.

MOPCO brings its unique brand of improv to a new Proctors venue--UNDERGROUND at Proctors--Friday nights at 8:00pm.

"UNDERGROUND at Proctors with Mopco" features a blend of short and long form improv. Audience members participate as much or as little as they like in the creation of stories, scenes, songs and games enlivened by Mopco's trademarked controlled chaos. There's always a surprise at a Mopco show!

Formats include Theatresports (Theatrical competition between teams of improvisors) Spontaneous Broadway (A full length improvised musical from audience suggestions) and Tapestry (a multi media "improv jazz" show blending story, song, and visuals.)
