Ryan Cunningham and Joshua Salzman, the creative team of Off-Broadway's I Love You Because, are the featured songwriters in the second ArtCents Benefit Concert, Aug. 21 in Manhattan.

Presented by ASTEP (Artists Striving to End Poverty), the concerts at the Triad on West 72nd Street are devoted to emerging songwriters — and helping kids at risk. Admission is a jar of change.

I Love You Because will be seen in regional theatres in the coming year, and a cast album will be released by PS Classics (www.psclassics.com).

The Aug. 21 benefit concert features performances by Marie-France Arcilla (Shout!), David A. Austin (I Love You Because), Colin Hanlon (Rent, I Love You Because), Lisa Howard (…Spelling Bee) and writer Cunningham. Salzman will accompany on piano. There is also a two-drink minimum. The Triad on New York's Upper West Side is at 158 W. 72nd St.

For reservations for the 7 PM concert, call (212) 706-1516 or send an email to tickets@createsomethinggood.org.

I love Lisa Howard. She can do no wrong. Gifted on a level that no one knows because she's doing this comedy role right now but oh my, when she's doing Passion and Gypsy in 15 years watch out. People won't know what hit them.

wow, where was that?

Peronista, Lisa has already done 'Passion.' She played Fosca while she was at CCM.
