Ground UP Productions, the company behind the critically acclaimed musical The People vs. Mona, presents a revival of Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park at Manhattan Theatre Source. Opening July 9, the production stars Guy Olivieri (Rent National Tour), Kate Middleton (Joe Pintauro's Cathedral) and Amelia White (Broadway: Heiress and Crazy for You) as Paul, Corie and Mrs. Banks, respectively.

Ground UP Productions (Kate Middleton and Matt Olin, producers), fresh from presenting the critically acclaimed musical THE PEOPLE vs. MONA, presents the World Premiere of the new play THE OPTIMIST, by Jason Chimonides and directed by acclaimed director Jace Alexander. Previews of THE OPTIMIST begin March 20 prior to an official press opening of March 26 at the Abingdon Theater (312 West 36th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues) in Manhattan.

We meet with Jim Wann, the composer/lyricist/co-author of the book, and with director/producer, Kate Middleton. Daniel Bailey accompanies Mariand Torres and Richard Binder in three songs: 'Tippo', 'Lockdown Blues', and Come on Down to Tippo'. This is Jim Wann's first musical since the award-winning Pump Boys and Dinettes, which launched the career of Debra Monk, among others. A little bit love story, a little bit courtroom drama, the musical comedy is set in Tippo, Geroge. It's about the trial of Mona Mae Kitt, who owns a popular hangout in town, and is charged with her husband's murder. If she's convicted, she will have to go to jail, and her attorney has never won a case against the prosecutor -- who is also his fiancee. This production marks its New York premiere. It is playing at the Abingdon Theatre (312 West 36th Street), and opened July 18th.
