Following in the footsteps of previous Special Guest Stars Annie Golden and Felicia Finley, Tony Award-nominated Avenue Q star Stephanie D'Abruzzo will be welcomed into Into the Weeds - Selections from the Bill Weeden Songbook.  She will appear at the West Bank Cafe on Saturday, September 9th at 5 PM.

Also, Weeden's Yankees' song, "One Big Team," which is featured in Into the Weeds, has been seen this week on the YES Network's Yankees Magazine - a behind-the-scenes look at the recording session with 2-time Tony Winner James Naughton.  "One Big Team" has gotten the official sanction of the New York Yankees, and will be scheduled to debut at Yankees Stadium during their next home stand.

Dog Run Rep's Into the Weeds - Selections from the Bill Weeden Songbook, is a musical revue conceived and directed by Jeff Cohen.  It has been extended at the West Bank Cafe, 407 West 42nd Street at 9th Avenue, through September 30th - Saturday nights at 11 PM - except for Saturday, September 9th which will be a 5 PM curtain.

The show features the following cast: Ted Anderson, Melissa Center, Grey Garrett, Hilary Mann, Kristen Rozanski, John Paul Skocik, Michael Vaccaro, Eddie Varley, Amanda Weeden, Bill Weeden & John Weisenburger.  The show features the premiere of the New York Yankees song "One Big Team."

Into the Weeds is an eclectic sampling of songs written and performed over the last forty years by composer/performer Bill Weeden and a host of friends and collaborators including Sally Fay, Ethan Fein and David Finkle.  The team of Weeden, Finkle and Fay won the 1980 NACCA Award (which later became the MAC) as Best Cabaret Comedy Group.  Their musical Move It and It's Yours was named New Jersey's  "Best New Musical" in 1998.  Several of their songs are featured in Martin Charnin's popular The No-Frills Revue.

There will be no performance on Saturday, September 2nd.  Tickets for all shows are $15 and there is a two-drink minimum.  Additionally, Into the Weeds and The West Bank Cafe will offer free admission and a special discount menu to all Broadway Performers who want to come and unwind after their Saturday night shows
