About the Show
CancerCare of Port Washington's Red Stocking Revue has been delighting audiences on Long Island for over 50 years! This lighthearted variety show showcases some incredibly talented local singers, actors and dancers and raises funds for CancerCare. From our amazing teens, to our talented kickline, and our youthful veterans, you will be entertained with a variety of musical and comedic numbers. A team of dedicated volunteers write song parodies and comedic skits (commercial stage ads) for local business sponsors, which are performed as part of the show as a unique way to showcase our community supporters. These sponsors help fund the production of our show and encourage audience members to support Long Island businesses. Our amateur, all-volunteer cast comes from all over Long Island and donates months of their valuable time to ensure the Red Stocking Revue’s continued success.
