FB00FB Cynthia Crane, singer, actress, wife (Ted Story), mother, grandmother (two 5th generation native NYer grandsons), preservationist & environmentalist. From Tavern-on-the-Green to Town Hall, I’ve sung all over town. I’ve been performing for most of my life, with big bands, in summer stock and in clubs and cabarets including the Montmartre jazz festival and Paris concerts in French. I have five CDs, working with the great Mike Renzi.
Some years back, Ted Story, George Ferencz & i opened and ran the impossible ragtime theater (IRT), which had a great 100 play/10-year run. I co-chair the friends of the Jefferson Market Library bell, which brought voice back to Ol’ Jeff, the 128-year-old bell in the Venetian gothic tower of the Jefferson Market Courthouse Library. I also chair Mulry Angle/West 11th Street Block Association and My website covers all of this. Come by and read about all the things that warm my heart!

Thanks so much darling Cynthia.. I'm moving back to the East Coast soon. First a trip to Italy in March and then hopefully within a short time after that. Life is REAL in NYC,and UNREAL as the talk goes,in Tinseltown's Hollywood. Craig is here right now and gave a nice show at Gardenia. I hope that Trudi finds herself another Sunday afternoon venue for singers. She should be doing it..was the best host anywhere that I've seen..I love this photo of Y O U too.
