I am baffled that there is no listings for any of the shows in the Sundays In Summer Cabaret Series at Arthur Newman Theater listed here? I email CV Independent detailed press releases for each show three weeks before each show with jpg photos and website link – but never seem to make the cut? I think your readers would enjoy knowing about the talented singers and their pianist that are there every Sunday at 2 PM for a bargain ticket price of only $11. I’ve recently started to see them in your print publications so why wouldn’t it be on line? Should I be submitting it on line somewhere?
