The band GrooveLily (Brendan Milburn, Valerie Vigoda and Gene Lewin, seen above in a photo by Leslie Lyons) has had to cancel its benefit concert for TheatreWorks that was scheduled for Friday, April 10.

The reason for the cancellation: family emergency. The group still plans to hold the event, a concert production of their theater work Sleeping Beauty Awakes, and a new date should be announced by the end of the month.

Best known to local audiences as the creators of Long Story Short and Striking 12, both seen at TheatreWorks, GrooveLily is a pop-rock group that has embraced theater in a big way.

Sleeping Beauty Wakes is a fractured fairy tale about a princess waking up after a centuries-long nap in a sleeping disorder clinic with nary a prince in sight.
