The events in honor of the late Broadway actor/singer George 'Best' Costacos are continuing in his native Greece on the beautiful island of Aegina, where George was laid to rest last November. The first George 'Best' Costacos Memorial Marathon will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2009.

An overflow crowd of friends, colleagues, and fans packed the Actors Equity Audition Center this past Monday, May 16th, 2009 to pay tribute to the late Broadway actor/singer George Best Costacos. The memorial, right in the heart of Broadway, was a moving, magical tribute to a multitalented artist who passed away a few months ago at the age of 44 of complications from a brain tumor. His untimely death left a big void but George?s talent, passion and spirit filled the room as his friends and colleagues performed works they had collaborated on, as well as pieces dedicated specifically to him. Among these was Broadway cabaret legend Steve Ross, composer and pianist Seth Weinstein and singer Lynn Manuel. Noted actress/director Fotini Baxevani and novelist, author, screenwriter and Fulbright Scholar Gianni Scaraga, both from Greece, recited some of George?s poems and prose in Greek and in English. They were joined by actress Carina Gregorio. Video clips of George?s performances and life filled the screen and mesmerized those present.

Friends, colleagues, and fans will gather to honor the memory of the late actor and singer George Best Costacos on Monday, March 16, 2009 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the Actors' Equity Audition Center, 165 West 46th Street, 2nd floor, New York, NY 10036. Steve Ross, Seth Weinstein and Lynn Manuel are among those who will commemorate the work of this gifted artist by performing some of George's best-known and beloved songs. The event is open to the public.
