Got an update on Hudson Stage’s annual fund-raiser, Divas 2008, which is set for July 19 at 7 p.m., which coincides, sadly, with the Kramers’ annual jaunt to Cape Cod.

In recent years, this star-studded affair has drawn Broadway’s creme de la creme to Westchester: Past “Divas” have included Liz Callaway, Cady Huffman, Audra McDonald and Shoshanna Bean.

This year’s event — which gets under way at 7 p.m. on the 19th with cocktails and hors d’ouevres — was to be hosted by Matthew Arkin, seen in “Murderers” last season, but he had to withdraw.

Stepping in to host are Alan Campbell (Tony nominee “Sunset Boulevard”) and his wife, Lauren Kennedy, who played Lady of the Lake, “Spamalot,” live in Mount Kisco. (They’re pictured at right, photos courtesy Hudson Stage.)

Producer Denise Bessette confirmed that sisters Liz Callaway and Ann Hampton Callaway will both perform at Divas this year, Liz fresh from Feinstein’s in NYC. As Liz is married to Hudson Stage director Dan Foster, and in keeping with the family theme, Bessette’s sister, Mimi, will lend her talents to the evening, too.

You’re invited to bring a picnic and blanket and enjoy the grounds at the venue on Baptist Church Road in Yorktown Heights. (Ticketbuyers will be given the exact address. How exclusive can you get!)
The evening will also include a silent auction for:

• Tickets to Broadway’s “August: Osage County,” “Boeing, Boeing,” “Billy Elliot,” “Wicked” and others,


• Access to a Paris apartment,


• Sports tickets and much, much more!

Tickets are $100 per person and are available at 914-271-2811.

(In the event of inclement weather, the event will be held at an alternate location and ticketholders will be notified of the change.)
