By

Berkshires-based cabaret performer Lisa Kantor enchanted her audience at the Stephentown Memorial Library benefit “You Read Me Like a Book!” on September 28 at The Theater Barn in New Lebanon. Lisa and her trio shifted moods and styles of love and love-gone-wrong songs for the enjoyment of a full house of Library supporters.
The Friends of the Library report that the evening raised about $7,000 for the Library, thanks to the support of ticket buyers, advertisers and donors.  They offer special thanks to Lisa, The Theater Barn, Hudson-Chatham Winery, Danforth Printing, Harry & David and Lindor Truffles by Lindt for their generous donations.  Because of enthusiastic community support and the success of the evening, the Friends are looking forward to a repeat performance next fall.
