Rare Champagne - A Farewell & Tribute To Régis Camus

Rare Champagne – A Farewell & Tribute To Régis Camus

Régis Camus needs no introduction in the world of Champagne.  For nearly thirty years, he was the Chef de Cave of Charles Heidsieck, Piper Heidsieck and Rare Champagne.  Régis is one of the most celebrated Cellar Masters of our time, with eight trophies at Piper-Heidsieck, Charles Heidsieck, and Rare Champagne House.

Across a Crowded Room: 2020 Videos

by Doug Reside, Curator, Billy Rose Theatre Division, New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center

January 15, 2021

Since 2013, more or less annually, the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts has invited new musical theatre writers, composers, and actors to Across A Crowded Room–a musical theatre incubator where strangers meet and write musicals together.  There is perhaps nothing more clichéd at this point than to note how unusual the past 12 months have been, but early in the pandemic it became clear there was interest in continuing the series in 2020, even in a modified way. Last year seven groups created new 20 minute musicals with the feedback from experts in the industry. The teams presented their final work, not on the stage of the Bruno Walter Auditorium as is the recent custom, but via pre-recorded videos produced for a special Zoom event. Today, we present those eight performances for the world to see. It was a difficult year in many respects, but the quality of the work created this year is among the best I have seen in the seven years of the program. Enjoy the 2020 Across A Crowded Room Playlist!
