Richard Skipper is a popular award-winning and critically acclaimed entertainer, theater historian, writer, arts advocate, and publicist. Under the umbrella of "Richard Skipper Celebrates", he has conducted over 700 interviews and has had over one million readers celebrating people in the arts. No stranger to Coaches Corner as a publicist, Richard is responsible for my conversations with Julie Budd, Gretchen Reinhagen and Sally Darling. 

Richard makes his return to the live performance arena by making "Richard Skipper Celebrates" a live variety and talk show inspired by the great shows we grew up on.  The shows will celebrate the careers of some of the great performers in various arenas of performance, from Broadway, to movies, to cabaret and television variety and talk shows, featuring performances by nationally known and local cabaret performers, as well as a monthly mystery guest.  At the first live presentation of Richard Skipper Presents, at the renowned Triad Theater on 72nd Street in Manhattan, will spotlight performers including a previous guest, Gretchen Reinhagen, Carolyn Montgomery-Forant, Leslie Orofino, Adam Shapiro, Wendy Scherl, and Carol Skarimbas.
