Are you thinking ahead to the new year? Thinking about ways to ring in 2016? Here at Messenger Post Media, we wanted to share five creative ways to celebrate this New Year's Eve. Happy New Year! "Janine Mercandetti: Out of Costume"/"Big Wigs" Rochester actress Janine Mercandetti's roles in local productions are many and varied: The Witch in "Into the Woods" at JCC CenterStage. The title character's anguished mother in "The Who's Tommy" at Blackfriars. Woman 1 and 2 in assorted performances of "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" at Nazareth and Downstairs Cabaret. That's naming just a few. On New Year's Eve at the Hart Theatre in the JCC, Mercandetti puts the costumes and makeup aside for a different role — Mercandetti herself. "Janine Mercandetti: Out of Costume" is the actress and vocalist's first cabaret performance, a one-woman show — though with a guest appearance by local drag star Mrs. Kasha Davis, an alumna of "RuPaul's Drag Race." MaryJayne Waddell directs and co-created the show with Mercandetti.
