Not Quite Christmas Cabaret – Composer Steven Lutvak returns to the Preserve with a stellar cast of Broadway performers, including Lauren Worsham, Mykal Kilgore, and Sally Wilfert, in this annual pre-holiday performance. The show takes place on December 3, from 7 to 10 pm, in the charming Winter Living Room of historic Hempstead House, a true Gatsby-era mansion. Tickets include cocktails, dinner, concert, and dessert with the performers. Limited VIP tickets are available for a special 6 pm cocktail hour with a moderated Q&A with Mr. Lutvak.

Next Week: Holiday Tales at the Hearth - Join the holiday cheer at Hempstead House with a celebration of holiday traditions from around the world. Festive music will play, Santa and Mrs. Claus will visit, and special guest readers will share favorite stories by the library’s roaring fireplace. This year, the mansion’s former billiards room will be transformed into a reading room filled with magical stories from many cultures. The summer living room will have children’s crafts, including an enormous winter mural. Fun for the entire family.
