The Cast
Joel Truex Camche
is a classically trained pianist who has been playing piano to
entertain since his teens, starting in the Borscht Belt in the '40s, at
Harvard with "The Harvardians," in the Army with Special Services,
and at the Bar Association since 1968 with the Entertainment Committee. He
loves to play.
Peter
W. Dizozza
is an attorney and creative artist driven by a need to collide and reconcile
individual “vision” and “experience” with collective reality and the
ever-elusive objective reality. This need arose from his foregone, unproven
and perhaps inanely misguided conclusion that reality exists apart from our
perception of it. "Here's a
fellow with musical ideas in his soul." Barry L. Cohen, The New Music
Connoisseur.
Pamela
W. Grayson is either a renaissance
woman or a dilettante, depending on your point of view.
An attorney, writer, singer and actress, her most recent and demanding
role is “Stressed Out Mother of Two Children,” a role for which she has no
training, experience, or patience, and which she performs 24/7 to a mostly
adoring audience.
Bonnie
Beth Greenball is Special Counsel to
the Conflicts of Interest Board, New
York City’s Ethics agency. She
has been in every City Bar show since 12th Night in 1997.
An avid theatregoer all her life, her participation on the
Entertainment Committee has fostered her love of performing on the stage.
Arthur
J. Greenbaum graduated from Harvard
Law School in 1955. A partner at
Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman from 1967 through 2000, he is currently Senior
Counsel at the firm. He is also
adjunct Professor of Trademark Law at NYU Law School. He made his standup
comedy debut in 1996.
Eugene
A. Leiman has been practicing law
for over 67 years and is currently of counsel to Mound Cotton Wollan &
Greengrass, with a focus on insurance litigation. He has written music and lyrics for City Bar Association
productions for the past 57 years.
Israella
F. Mayeri, a New York State Support
Magistrate in Kings County Family Court, has recently renewed her passion for
piano, which she studied as a child. A
frequent performer in the Park Slope and Cobble Hill Sections of Brooklyn, she
makes her debut here at the Bar Association tonight.
Nelson
Lin, when not conjuring magic,
serves as Vice President of investments at a premier investment bank managing
millions of dollars every day. An
attorney and entrepreneur, he serves on the boards of various businesses.
Other hobbies include piano, cello, tennis, yoga, handwriting analysis and
self-promoting bios.
Tyrone
Mark Powell, a litigation attorney,
is a pianist, vocalist, published songwriter, arranger and producer, whose
original music has been used in film and television, including “Witness to
the Mob,” “All My Children,” “One Life to Live,” and “The Young
and the Restless.” He is a
member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP),
National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS), Film & TV Music
Network, and National Academy of Popular Music.
Frances
E. Scanlon, an artful practitioner,
moonlights on Hollywood feature films and episodic television, when she’s
not free-lancing as a writer/publicist.
Jennifer
A. Shafer specializes in civil
litigation and real estate investment in NYC, where she is a fixture in the
courts. When not practicing law, she devotes her time to fund-raising for
children’s charities, dancing the Argentine Tango, and conversing in French
and Spanish. Her partner, El Ruso, is well known in the Tango community.
Shirley
Stewart Farmer has appeared in many
Classical Recitals and Jazz-Pop concerts, including last November at Weill
Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall where she and her companion sang opera duets and
arias in the first half, and pop, jazz and blues in the second half.
CDs representing both styles are available.
Martha
Cohen Stine, Chair of the Committee
on Entertainment, has performed in Bar Association shows for the last eight
years and co-produced them for the last four. She is proud to have served as
chair, producer and actress/singer in the most recent 12th Night,
“The Fordham Flash,” a sold-out, smash hit.
Marti sings with Village Light Opera Group, having recently appeared in
“The Gondoliers” and “Pirates of Penzance.”
She is a partner in the matrimonial firm Cohen Hennessey &
Bienstock P.C.
Rita
Wasserstein Warner is head of the
matrimonial department at Coblence & Warner, holds a J.D. from NYU School
of Law, a B.A. from Smith
College, and studied at L’Ecole es Hautes Etudes Internationales. She has been performing in City Bar 12th Night shows for over
twenty years, but this is her first opportunity to play a French chanteuse.
Kenneth
T. Wasserman
is a single practitioner, having a focus in commercial and general litigation,
including estate practice. He is
a former Chair of the Committee on Entertainment.
Richard S. Weisbroat is a founder and (supposedly) retired partner of Kramer Levin, an Irish tenor cantor, an addicted jogger, and a pro bono bon vivant.
