Special Valentine Benefit Event! The York Theatre Company will presents *MARRIAGE, The Ups and Downs...in Song, a cabaret valentine featuring Diane Love and Jay Nickerson with music direction and accompaniment by Gerry Dieffenbach.*

Common Ground, the new musical by Granville Wyche Burgess and Stan Wietrzychowsk, tells the yet-untold story of what really necessitated the Emancipation Proclamation. This special book-in-hand presentation, will be Monday, December 9 at 7:00 p.m. at The Actors Temple, 339 West 47th Street, NYC. Common Ground begins with a veiledly racist President Lincoln, carrying a country-at-war on his back, deliberating on how to make peace with his foes and forge an alliance with the formidable Frederick Douglass.

Quill Productions presents a staged reading of Granville Wyche Burgess' musical play about the first-time our nation faced a civil war. Based on fact, COMMON GROUND concerns a meeting between Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln regarding his responsibility toward a belief in political and social equality for African-Americans.
