AT HAND THEATRE COMPANY's annual Earth Day concert, BROADWAY RECYCLED, will take place this year on Monday, April 25th at 7pm and 9:30pm at Joe's Pub.

The Village Gate's Old Fashioned Piano Party will be featuring the songs of Richard Rodgers, Mary Rodgers, and Adam Guettel. With special guests from the NY Theatre scene soon to be announced.

The BritWeek Film and TV Summit, a co-production between the Los Angeles chapter of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and Variety, is committed to exploring how entertainment breaks through and crosses over in the U.K. and U.S. The return of this popular conference series will focus on the latest trends in production, distribution, finance and marketing, as they relate to connecting to today's audiences on both sides of the pond.

There aren't many concerts around where you can hear a full house go berserk at the promise of hearing Jill Eikenberry sing a number from Onward, Victoria.  Or where the mention of the name Bruce Yeko draws spontaneous applause and the audience enjoys a running gag about Lenny Wolpe.

If It Only Even Runs A Minute 6 is the sixth edition of this series of rare songs, behind-the-scenes tales, and inspiring photos from Broadway musicals that may not have been fully appreciated the first time around. The show features performances and stories from original cast members of several of the featured shows. This is an essential concert for musical theatre nerds!

The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm) will stage the North American premiere of Paul, British playwright Howard Brenton's powerful and provocative play exploring the extraordinary phenomenon of faith. Brenton's secular dramatization of the famous conversion of Saul of Tarsus to Saint Paul and the resurrection of Jesus Christ played to critical acclaim as well as controversy at London's National Theatre in 2005.

The idea of following the stories of four young gay men who are raised as members of a Baptist church in Texas is certainly fertile enough stuff for a play on its own. But, with SOUTHERN BAPTIST SISSIES, playwright Del Shores muddies this basic premise with a non-linear, and at times illogical, presentation that generates a modicum of laughs, but misses the mark dramatically. Although I'm usually a fan of unconventionality, I think Shores pushes too hard here, and the opportunity to create something truly memorable is lost in the process. However, Citilites Theatre has put together a fitfully funny and heartfelt production that makes the most of this decidedly uneven material, and it benefits greatly from a number of strong performances as well.

Citilites Theatre proudly presents its production of SOUTHERN BAPTIST SISSIES, Del Shores' hilarious and touching follow-up to his cult favorite Sordid Lives (stage play, movie, and TV series) at The Gaslight Theater @ 358 N. Boyle Ave. 63108 opening March 11, running through March 27.
