Middle Management, in association with 4th Interval's Dark Night Series, presents SNAPSHOTS with Anisha Nagarajan star of the hit Broadway Musical Bombay Dreams. SNAPSHOTS will be presented for two shows only on Friday, August 6, 2004 and Saturday, August 7, 2004, at 11 p.m. SNAPSHOTS will play at the 45th Street Theatre (354 West 45th St.) following the Main Stage performances of THE DIARY OF ADAM AND EVE and MARRY ME A LITTLE.

SNAPSHOTS is a collection of songs that highlight major moments and memories in four people's lives– a mother, a father, their daughter and her boyfriend. Tracing their lives as they encounter triumphs and tribulations, SNAPSHOTS covers humorous moments such as love at a middle school dance, to painful memories such as watching a parent slip away.

A unique theatrical experience, SNAPSHOTS began as a few songs that have since evolved into an entire evening of music. Different from other cabaret shows, the songs of SNAPSHOTS are connected by an implied plot as opposed to a theme. We watch the main character (the daughter) from the moment she is born through the moment she realizes her true love. The trajectory from that first moment to first love is SNAPSHOTS.

SNAPSHOTS features music by long-time collaborators Michael Mitnick and Anisha Nagarajan, with lyrics by Michael Mitnick. Nagarajan, who was pulled from her sophomore year at NYU to make her Broadway debut in Bombay Dreams is an award-winning pianist and composer. Mitnick, a senior at Harvard College is an up-and-coming composer who co-wrote the music and lyrics for Winning Caroline, winner of Best Comedy at the Ivy Film Festival.

Completing the cast of SNAPSHOTS are Bombay Dreams cast members Aaron Albano, Krystal Kiran Garib, Ian Jutsun, Miriam Laube, and Aalok Mehta.

SNAPSHOTS will be performed as part of Fourth Interval's Dark Night Series at the 45th Street Theatre (354 West 45th St., between Eighth and Ninth Avenues) on Friday, August 6, 2004 and Saturday, August 7, 2004 at 11 p.m. Tickets for SNAPSHOTS are $10 (cash only) and are available at the door the night of the show.
