Pandora Productions to Present THE BOYS IN THE BAND
by BWW News Desk - December 15, 2015
Pandora Productions continues the 2015-2016 season with an oldie but a goodie. Mart Crowley's The Boys in the Band is the quintessential 'gay' play, breaking down boundaries and exploring new topics in its Off-Broadway run of over 1000 performances in the Spring of 1968. Before Boys, gay men were 'fops' and 'dandies' but this play changed it all. Since it was on stage a full year prior to Stonewall, Boys proved to be quite prescient in retrospect. Some historians have said that the play's production in advance of Stonewall set the stage for the events that unfolded there, gays would no longer be kept in the closet. The dark comic play explores issues of self-loathing, internalized homophobia, racial biases and more.

StageOne to Present AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME
by BWW News Desk - December 03, 2015
On Eva Schloss' 15th birthday, her family was arrested by the Nazis and sent to concentration camps. She lived in the same apartment building as Anne Frank. Both families went into hiding the same day and both were betrayed. Yet Eva and her mother survived, and after the war her mother went on to marry Anne's father Otto Frank. This unique multimedia theatrical experience combines videotaped interviews from Holocaust survivors with live actors recreating scenes from their lives during World War II. This oral history breaks new ground and has been acclaimed by audiences and critics world-wide. WARNING: Contains some graphic images and moments that would be disturbing for younger children.

Charles Addams' 'altogether ooky' macabre family has been around since 1938, although most people date their introduction to the mass media culture from the 1964 television series. Two popular films from the 1980's raised the profile even more. Most recently the musical theatre adaptation hit Broadway starring Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth.
