(New York, NY – August 3, 2022) – On the nights of July 29th and 30th,The Westhampton Beach Project hosted its 4th annual public event on the Great Lawn on Main Street in Westhampton Beach, NY.

All proceeds raised went towards The Musical Mime Company, INC, the not-for-profit organization dedicated to assembling artists in all areas of creativity and collecting information on corporal movement and furthermore on art in general.

The project was conceptualized by local Westhampton resident, artist, and President of the Musical Mime Theater, Steven Colucci. Colucci, who has been working in the arts for over 45 years decided to make the Westhampton Beach Project his personal mission to expose the younger generation to some of the art forms he has spent so many years of his life dedicated to studying.

The following evening, July 30th, included an opening performance from NYC award winning singer-songwriter Eva Sita. Four-time Grammy nominated, and Tony Award-winning actress Melba Moore took it from there, performing songs from her hit Broadway shows and the Great American Song Book. Moore was the first female pop/R&B artist to do a non-operatic solo concert at New York City’s Metropolitan Opera House and the Olympia in Paris. She became the first African American woman to perform the role of Fantine in Les Misérables.

Westhampton Beach Project had a mini food festival for their guests on both days of the event, featuring local bites from over 25 restaurants and cocktails from a dozen bars.
