Attorney, Lauren P. Raysor, author of “Living the Wealthy Life,” and “Being Broke Is Not A Lifestyle,” has announced that LWL Entertainment, in association with Cocoagirls Productions, is presenting “Laughter and Lyrics,” a special four-night event celebrating Women’s History Month. “Laughter and Lyrics” will take place on March 21, 23, 28 and 30 at The Bassline, located at 130 East First Street in Mount Vernon, NY.

The Bassline has undergone numerous positive changes in recent years, in an effort to preserve its long history that reaches back to the days when legends like Frank Sinatra, George Raft and Charlie Chaplin used to frequent the Bassline! The Bass Line also functions as the home base for the Cafe Soul All-Stars, since their leader/trumpet player Duke Jones happens to be one of the owners of the club. The Bassline Club was inspired by Jones’ numerous trips to Johannesburg, South Africa, and he was also was instrumental in the design of the Bassline, which has a nice jazz feel.

“Laughter and Lyrics” will showcase the funniest comediennes and most talented female vocalists and spoken-word poets. Raysor will be joined by the event’s producer, Phyllis Yvonne Stickney, who has appeared in films such as “Malcolm X,” “What’s Love Got To Do With It,” “New Jack City” and “Die Hard With A Vengeance.” She has also performed at numerous theater and arts festivals around the world and received numerous honors for her contributions to the arts and society.

Acclaimed spoken word poet and AUDELCO Award winner Jaylene Clark will host. While attending Ithaca College, she founded the poetry organization Spit That! and served as its first president. Some of her theatre credits include Eurydice (Big Stone), The Exonerated (Georgia) and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Hippolyta). As executive director of Harlem KW Project, LLC, the group performed Renaissance in the Belly of a Killer Whale, an original play they wrote and produced about the gentrification in Harlem; the play received an AUDELCO Award. She is also recognized for her spoken-word poetry, having won Apollo Theater’s Amateur Night and being named a Super Top Dog Amateur Night finalist. She recently served as Associate Producer for the revival of the Obie Award-winning play The Great McDaddy and is currently Associate Producer for the Off-Broadway production of Soul Nativity.

As a vocalist, she has established herself as one of the most soulful young singers around, having fronted alternative, gospel and neo-soul bands. When she is not singing, she is sharing her stories and poems with her audience.

“There is no better way to celebrate Women’s History Month than to be entertained with comedy, music and poetry by these talented women,” Raysor said. “I would like to thank Ms. Stickney for helping me turn the concept for this special four-night event into a reality. I encourage all women to come down and learn the importance of female empowerment through laughter, music and the spoken word.”
