As we approach the November 2018 Midterm Election, Me The People, a hilarious and uproarious musical parody about the Trump White House is back with a brand new Fire and Fury Edition in NYC this Summer & Fall with performances July 24-November 6 (Election Day) at The Laurie Beechman Theatre (407 West 42nd Street). Featuring book & lyrics by 5-time Emmy Award-winner Nancy Holson, Me The People originally premiered in 2017 just as Donald Trump's first 100 days in office came to an end, reacting in real time to the chaos in the White House (playing 5 months Off-Broadway to rave reviews).

On Friday, August 3, 2018, violinist Josh Modney, Executive Director of the Wet Ink Ensemble and a member of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), releases his debut solo violin album, Engage, on New Focus Records. The three-disc album brings together the varied threads of Modney's recent work, including long-term collaborations with composers Kate Soper, Eric Wubbels, and Sam Pluta, who perform on the album; solo violin music by Taylor Brook and Anthony Braxton; Modney's own improvised music for solo violin; and J.S. Bach's Ciaccona reinterpreted in Just Intonation.

BWW Review: 'RELATIVITY' BY MARK ST. GERMAIN at Penguin Repertory Theatre

Though it has garnered headlines in the U.S. over the past few years, the notion of gay conversion therapy is not a new one.

Though it has garnered headlines in the U.S. over the past few years, the notion of gay conversion therapy is not a new one.

The father of modern psychology comes back from the grave in a flurry of cross-dressing madness. Natasha Sutton Williams writes an exhilarating musical filled to the brim of phallic jokes and the basis of psychotherapy. Sigmund Freud's cocaine addiction and an imaginary cat named Oedipussy move the action from the real-life cases of the misunderstood lesbian Dora, little Hans, and Rat Man.

Andy Richardson (Newsies on Broadway, Kinky Boots National Tour) and Cathy Ang (K-Pop at Ars Nova) will join "Full Capacity: The Work of Hass & Swanton" at Feinstein's/54 Below. Also new to the cast are Samantha Williams and Laura Thoresen, joining the previously announced group of Johnny Rabe, Kuhoo Verma, Alex Guhde, Marina Magnelli, Gabriella Marzetta, Martavius Parrish, and Daniel Youngelman.

A Christmas Story the Musical star Johnny Rabe and Monsoon Wedding star Kuhoo Verma will join "Full Capacity: The Work of Hass & Swanton" at Feinstein's/54 Below. The concert will also include performances by Alex Guhde, Marina Magnelli, Gabriella Marzetta, Martavius Parrish, and Daniel Youngelman. Additional casting to be announced at a later date.

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Kyle Reid Hass and Jeremy Swanton in "Full Capacity" on March 23rd, 2018. Kyle Reid Hass and Jeremy Swanton, writers of Science Fair: A Game Changing New Musical Off-Broadway, make their Feinstein's/54 Below and New York City concert debuts! From the Heroin epidemic in Chicago to the love affairs of Sigmund Freud's daughter, this creative team pushes to delve into new and controversial material. The young duo explore some of their recent and upcoming works, including songs from Science Fair, Mind Games & Topple, and many stand-alone favorites. A cast of friends, from Broadway, Off-Broadway and beyond, help welcome them to the New York concert scene.

Working Birthday today announce that Freud The Musical returns to VAULT Festival from the 14 March. In this one-woman show Natasha Sutton Williams collaborates once again with director, Dominic McHale to take on the roles of Sigmund Freud and his patients, including, the raging lesbian Dora, the anal Rat Man and Little Hans - the original Freudian mother****er. The production features thirteen original songs, with music provided by a live pianist and a soundscape of looped voices created each night.

Holly Morgan and Tom Moores tear the house down with their new comedy show, a mix of stand-up and cabaret. Madonna or Whore is a raucous and unashamedly in-your-face feminist piece of theatre.

In FREUD'S LAST SESSION, playwright Mark St. Germain has written an intricate, very detailed script of what he imagines as a chance meeting between Dr. Sigmund Freud and C. S. Lewis. Set in 1939 London the day England entered World War II, the two very well-read men debate on the existence of God. Watching Martin Rayner as Freud and Martyn Stanbridge as Lewis butt heads in their reasonings of the existence/non-existence of God is much like watching a Wimbleton Tennis Final.

Here is the list of shows that The Public Theater of San Antonio will be producing in their upcoming 2018-2019 Season!

In 1848, a Lutheran scholar named Samuel Mosheim Schmucker first raised the question as to how an uneducated and untraveled man such as William Shakespeare could have penned 37 plays and 154 sonnets that dealt with subjects that he should have no knowledge of. Since then many people have cast their doubts about the identity of the Bard, including Mark Twain and Sigmund Freud. Most recently, with a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O'Farrell and music and lyrics by Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick, the Tony-nominated Something Rotten! hilariously takes a look at Shakespeare as a plagiarist.
