Everyday Rapture Extends Through June 14 at Second Stage

Second Stage Theatre (Carole Rothman, Artistic Director; Ellen Richard, Executive Director) has extended its run of Dick Scanlan and Sherie Rene Scott's EVERYDAY RAPTURE two weeks, through June 14. Directed by Michael Mayer, EVERYDAY RAPTURE stars Ms. Scott and also features Eamon Foley, Lindsey Mendez, and Betsy Wolfe.

EVERYDAY RAPTURE is the story of a young woman's psycho-sexual-spiritual journey on the rocky path that separates her mostly Mennonite past from her mostly Manhattan future. Her life takes her from the cornfields of Kansas to the clover fields of New York (with a disturbing detour through YouTube). EVERYDAY RAPTURE also features songs made famous by David Byrne, George Harrison, Roberta Flack, Elton John, The Dap Kings and Judy Garland.

Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls EVERYDAY RAPTURE, "Sensational! Easily one of the year's most extravagantly entertaining new musicals." Joe Dziemianowicz of the New York Daily News raves, "Go see it! For the 90 minutes that Sherie Rene Scott is on stage, audiences have an unobstructed view of paradise personified - a wickedly funny, wonderfully touching show," while Michael Kuchwara of the Associated Press calls the show, "rapturous entertainment - a touching, tuneful and often hilarious tale"

EVERYDAY RAPTURE is performed through Sunday, May 31, 2009 at Second Stage Theatre (307 West 43rd Street, just west of 8th Avenue) on the following schedule: Tuesday at 7:00pm, Wednesday - Saturday at 8:00pm, Wednesday and Saturday at 2:00pm, and Sunday at 3:00pm.
