Thanks to everyone who viewed and shared with friends my youtube posting in the Living Spaces Jingle Contest. I came in a respectable 13th place out of 220 people winning $500 credit at Living Spaces thanks to all of you. We plan to purchase grown-up bedroom furniture. Bye, bye college dresser from Ikea! Thank you again for all your support!

I need your help!

Living Spaces, a California Furniture Store, is hosting a jingle contest.
All I had to do was sing their jingle, upload it to youtube and the winner is
being selected by the MOST number of views. That's it!

Be sure to view between NOW and Wednesday, May 18, 9PM PST.
But don't wait, it literally takes :30 seconds AND if you like it you can
watch it again! :-)

Here's the link:

Since the contest is being judged by the MOST views, I am proposing the “Faberge Shampoo” effect. You tell two friends, and so on, and so on…

So please feel free to share this email with friends.
Post the link in your Facebook status for a short while.
Share the link when viewing on YouTube.
You get the idea!

Thanks so much for your support!
Best, Lisa

P.S. If I win. Party at my house!

Lisa sang with a 32 voice choir on the music cues for the 50th Disney animated film, TANGLED, coming out this November 24th. They recorded on the Eastwood Scoring Stage on the Warner Brothers lot. The orchestrator, Berklee alum, Kevin Kleisch, and the award-winning composer, Alan Menken, were both there that day and pleased with the sound and outcome.

Susan Boyle is hosting a contest to pick someone to sing a duet with her on her next album. It is the chance of a lifetime and I've thrown my hat in the ring.

Come see Lisa Donahey as "Suzy" in the World Premiere of THE BLUNDERS!

A Musical Play set in the Upright Cabaret Lounge at the Vermont in Los Angeles.
Written & Directed by Jon Bernstein (screenwriter of Disney’s Meet the Robinsons)

Musical Direction by Mitchell Kaplan

THE BLUNDERS is about a group of friends who moved to L.A. to find fame and fortune, but found only obscurity and debt. Nothing is working out the way it was supposed to for Suzy, Ezra, Gretel and Chip.
They get fired from jobs they don’t like.
They lie to creditors while living off maxed-out credit cards.
They have mortifying Internet dates.
They attend AA meetings while drunk.
They steal self-help books from New Age bookstores. Love and success remain elusive.
They are groping for faith in an uncertain world.
Accomplices in one another’s delusions, they keep on hacking away and chasing the dreams they have no business dreaming in the first place. By society’s standards, they are losers.. But somehow they seem less like losers because they have each other.

A hilarious evening of environmental theatre where the audience is seated in the bar amidst the characters, and the story unfolds around them.

Upright Cabaret at the Vermont
