Photo Coverage: Off-Bway in Union Square

By:

Cast members from My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm In Therapy!, Enter Laughing: The Musical and Serenade presented the second in a series of four fantastic Fridays of Off-Broadway performances at the Holiday Market in Union Square.  Shoppers enjoyed a taste of some of New York's hottest Off-Broadway shows as they wrap up their gift shopping in the Union Square area.  The performances are made possible by the Union Square Partnership and the League of Off-Broadway Theatres and Producers in partnership with Urban Space Management, which organizes the annual Holiday Market.

Throughout the duration of the Market  (through Sunday, December 24) shoppers also can visit the Union Square information booth, run by the Union Square Partnership, for special holiday coupons from local area businesses as well as discount coupons for a variety of Off-Broadway shows playing in the district and throughout New York City.

Performers will appear on stage at 4PM on Fridays through December 21 to treat shoppers to live entertainment at 15th Street and Union Square West in Union Square Park.
