A Special Fundraiser Event to benefit the Podium Endowment Fund. There’s a reason why Richard Carpenter, himself, gave Helen his blessing to bring Superstar to life. The show is not a tribute act. Rather, it is a one-of-a-kind docu-musical featuring world-class musicians, fresh arrangements and fascinating and rare back-stage stories about the number one selling act of the 1970’s – The Carpenters.

Joan Ellison, vocals
“To say ‘Joan lit up the stage’ is to use a cliché, but that’s why the phrase was coined to begin with. She did just that as she sang the Garland tunes with heartfelt spirit and a warm, vibrant sound — she is a gem! The audience fell in love at frst sight and song.”
- Eric Benjamin, Conductor and Composer
