Cameron toured the country in the musicals Footloose, Fame, Tommy and State Fair. On the 12th and 19th, he will present his solo performance piece with music, Different is Good, which charts his Mormon upbringing in Utah, and follows him through his arrival in New York City as a working actor.
Marti Gould Cummings moved to NYC at the age of 17 to study musical theatre. During his time as an actor, he toured nationally, was featured on several hit TV shows, and appeared in the Drama Desk nominated musical TWIST off-Broadway. As time went on he realized he was put on this earth to make a difference for the LGBT community.
Since forming BSO! with Anthony Hollock, Marti has become one of NYCs most influential gay rights activist. He has appeared on LOGO, been featured in top gay and Broadway publications, and presented album of the year at the OUTMusic Awards. Through the red carpet interviews,
sit down interviews, weekly talk show, and benefits he hosts, he truly has given a voice to the younger generation in the LGBT community. Marti will continue to fight for equality until all people have gained equal rights under the law.
ANYTHING GOES with Marti will take place on Sunday January 16th at 9pm at Vig27 located at East 27th Street and Park Avenue South. This event is free and open to the public with half off drinks. Vig27 will donate a portion of the bar to BC/EFA.

Tickets for the Broadway revival of John Guare’s comedic masterpiece THE HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES starring Ben Stiller, Edie Falco and Jennifer Jason Leigh are now on sale exclusively to American Express card members and to the general public beginning January 15. THE HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES, directed by David Cromer, will open on Monday, April 25, 2011 at the Walter Kerr Theatre (219 West 48th Street).

Additional casting will be announced soon.
In THE HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES, Ben Stiller is Artie Shaughnessy, a zookeeper and wannabe songwriter, who is trying to cope with a schizophrenic wife (Falco), an impatient girlfriend (Leigh) and a visit from the Pope, all while sustaining his dream of hitting it big. THE HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES is a satirical take on celebrity, religion, and the frequent merging of the two.
The production team includes Scott Pask (Scenic Design), Jane Greenwood (Costume Design) & Brian MacDevitt (Lighting Design).
THE HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES debuted on Broadway in Lincoln Center Theater’s Tony-winning 1986 production directed by Jerry Zaks, featuring Ben Stiller in his Broadway and professional debut as Ronnie Shaughnessy.
