Like so many businesses in NYC, the historic and beloved West Bank
Cafe/Laurie Beechman Theater is in grave danger of closing its doors
permanently if we don't come together as a community and raise the
necessary funds ASAP. The venue is in desperate need of capital to dig
out of the debt caused by the pandemic. If we hit our fundraising
goal, not only will it get West Bank out of debt, but it will allow
the venue to weather the rest of the pandemic so we can once again
enjoy our home-away-from-home once this crisis ends.
For 42 years West Bank Cafe has been a popular theater district haunt.
It has been a launching pad for countless musicians, actors,
comedians, and writers, a “must visit” for tourists, a “go to” for
locals, and a perfect spot for a business meeting, a pre-theater meal,
or after show drinks with friends.
If you are part of the theater/cabaret community, West Bank Cafe has
been a part of your life and your story. That’s because of Steve and
his crew, it isn't a business, it's a family. And they have made us
all feel like family for decades. Now is the time to for the family to
come together and make sure this magical place is still there when the
dust of this global nightmare settles.
There are very few places left in New York, that we can whole
heartedly trust with our career and life milestones, the way we have
always trusted the crew at West Bank Cafe. So many of us have
celebrated birthdays, weddings, opening nights, closing nights, Tony
wins, Tony losses, and everything in between. It is our safe place to
pitch our big ideas to that big investor, because we know when we
bring someone to West bank Cafe they will be treated like a VIP.
That’s because everyone is treated like a VIP when they walk through
those doors.
This business is being hit twice as hard, because it is not only a
beloved restaurant and bar, but it is also home to The Laurie Beechman
Theater - a warm and inviting space where we have all had the pleasure
of enjoying some of New York’s finest talents. And, as a performer,
whether you are making your NYC debut, or you are an EGOT winner, you
are treated like a star. So many milestones have happened at The
Laurie Beechman. It is the stage where Joan Rivers performed her final
set. It is the room where the original cast of Sunday in the Park With
George rehearsed. It is where the Tony Award winning play Sideman
debuted, where Aaron Sorkin's first two works were produced, not to
mention the countless Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Tony, and MAC award winning
artists that have graced the stage over the decades. So many stars
have been born at the Laurie Beechman Theater, as recently as this
winter, when LBT regular Jackie Cox made history as a finalist on Ru
Paul's Drag Race.
I keep thinking of “It's A Wonderful Life”. I think many would agree
that our lives would be worse off if Steve Olsen hadn't given so many
of us an inviting place to gather and create for all these years. This
is Steve's George Bailey moment. Let's prove "that no man is a failure
who has friends".
We are New Yorkers, there is nothing we can't achieve when we work together!
Let's save our beloved West Bank Cafe!
