Rainbows and Stars with Josh Redman

reservationsDine With Us.

It’s Pride Month and The Napoleon Room has created a new series called RAINBOW AND STARS celebrating our gay community and our allies.   PRIDE PARTIES are interspersed throughout June featuring and thanking many of our biggest fans for their support throughout the year.  Tonight’s PRIDE PARTY is hosted by Josh Redman  who will be welcoming to the stage Stephanie Cotton-Snell, Faith Kasparian, and Lauren Schultes for a trio of showcases. We will wind up the party with an open mic as we do every night at the Napoleon Room.

Josh Redman is a passionate singer and storyteller. He brings his own personal flair and effervescence to his repertoire of musical theatre tunes, jazz standards, and popular songs. As a trained clarinetist, Josh appears regularly with the Kendall Square Orchestra and has been known to bust out his clarinet at the Napoleon Room. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll leave just a little bit gayer!

Stephanie Cotton-Snell has enjoyed a career as a theatre professional that spans decades, working as an actor, director, and educator. She has performed at various regional theatres around the U.S, as well as independent films and regional commercials. She is active in the Boston theatre scene and has had the privilege of performing at many Boston area theatres including Firehouse Center for the Arts, Central Square Theatre, Vokes Theatre, Burlington Players, Theatre Company of Saugus and Quannapowitt Players. In recent years she focused on social justice theatre, founding and directing Girl Talk Theatre, a company with the mission of using theatre to empower unhoused and marginalized women in Boston. After 13 years as Artistic Director, she closed Girl Talk Theatre, but continues to travel internationally to lead social justice/restorative theatre workshops with various organizations that serve marginalized women. She holds a BFA from AuburnUniversity and an MFA from CCM, both in theatre performance and also studied Theatre of the Oppressed with Augosto Boal at TOPLab in New York. She created and performed her first Cabaret show in 2025, Stirred But Not Shaken, selling out both performances at Club Café.

Faith Kasparianis thrilled to be part of the cabaret community at Club Café! A Boston native with a degree in voice from New England Conservatory, Faith is a dynamic singer who has performed in cabaret, community theater, and summer stock settings. Faith’s love of theater began as a child, performing in productions directed by her Mom. Some of Faith’s favorite roles include Laurey from Oklahoma, Grandma from The Addams Family, and Yum-Yum from The Mikado (for which she was nominated for Best Lead Actress in a musical by the Northern Virginia Theater Alliance). Recognized by Broadway World as “a performer worth keeping your eye on”, Faith’s debut cabaret, Law of Imagination (directed by Faith Prince with musical direction by Bobby Peaco), delighted audiences in Boston and NYC and has been lauded for Faith’s “sweet vocals, astute comic timing, and sincere emotional depth.” Apart from her singing, Faith is a practicing lawyer with Morse, where she is the Chair of the Firm’s Privacy and Data Security Practice Group.

Lauren Schultes is a Boston-based performer recognized for her brilliant vocals, witty parodies, and captivating stage presence.
