ANNIE

TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2017

The world’s best-loved musical returns in time-honored form. Directed by original lyricist and director Martin Charnin and choreographed by Liza Gennaro, this production of ANNIE will be a brand new incarnation of the iconic original. Featuring book and score by Tony Award®-winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, ANNIE includes such unforgettable songs as “It’s the Hard Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” “I Don’t Need Anything But You,” plus the eternal anthem of optimism, “Tomorrow.”

HAL HOLBROOK IN “MARK TWAIN TONIGHT!”

FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2017

It could be said that Hal Holbrook comes as close to the early American touring actors – Joseph Jefferson, Edwin Booth, James O’Neill – as anyone on the stage today. 2016 is the 62ND consecutive year for this remarkable one man show. Over 2256 performances of MARK TWAIN TONIGHT!, it may be the longest running show in theatre history, but it does not stop evolving. Holbrook has developed over fifteen hours of Twain selections to choose from, cutting through our chorus of opinions today with a voice soaked in humor and history as it happened over a century ago. Holbrook has aged but his Mark Twain has not. “He keeps me fired up, asking questions.” The show was developed in a Greenwich Village nightclub in 1956, landed on the Ed Sullivan show, opened off-Broadway in 1959. He has no set program and chooses material as he goes along, so don’t miss out on a truly unique performance!
