Rachael, Joanna, and Shannon are three sisters who have been performing together their entire lives. Since 2018, they have appeared professionally as The Connolly Sisters. A different kind of sister group, The Connolly Sisters blend Broadway, classical, jazz standards, and the Great American SongBook to bring show stopping entertainment.
Together, they have produced and performed cabaret shows at award winning restaurants throughout Queens and Long Island. With a passion for their community, the sisters have appeared at local patriotic events such as Memorial Day Services, 9/11 remembrance ceremonies, and the like. During quarantine in 2020, they organized and performed a livestream concert to raise money for their local community and to raise spirits among all those stuck at home.
In 2021, the sisters founded Three Leaf Productions, a film and theatrical production company committed to telling uplifting stories. This venture has opened up new creative opportunities for the sisters. In July 2022, Three Leaf wrapped filming on its debut project Accident Prone. The short film, currently in post production, was written by Rachael Connolly and stars all three sisters.

And to all of you, for coming out tonight and supporting our work. We cannot wait to see what the future holds.
