Due to critical acclaim and popular demand, Transport Group and Lucille Lortel Theatre have announced a one-week extension of Joey Merlo’s On Set with Theda Bara. Learn more about how to get tickets to the new dates here!

Transport Group and Lucille Lortel Theatre will present the Off-Broadway engagement of Joey Merlo’s On Set with Theda Bara starring six-time Obie winner David Greenspan who channels all four characters in this uniquely intimate, seance-like production.

When composer Rene Orth came across the story of investigative reporter Nellie Bly’s expose of the abuse of women at an asylum in New York at the end of the 19th century, she immediately knew that “this story needed to be told as an opera.” She was right. The result of her efforts, with the first-rate creative team including librettist Hannah Moscovitch, is 10 DAYS IN A MADHOUSE, a 90-minute work that opened Opera Philadelphia’s festival (this year, called O23) with its world premiere at the Wilma Theatre.

Two Classic Plays. One Secret Location. This summer, a turn-of-the-century Brooklyn brownstone hosts two intimate, site-specific productions: A Midsummer Night's Dream directed by Katherine Wilkinson (Finding Avi at La Jolla Playhouse, Bloom Bloom Pow at New Georges, LORDES at the Ice Factory) invites you upstairs before the sun sets and Macbeth directed by Mikhaela Mahony (Dido of Idaho at EST, Dear Erich at New York City Opera) calls you down to the basement after dark.

Experience the world premiere of Composer Rene Orth's 10 Days in a Madhouse at Opera Philadelphia. Grammy-winning baritone Will Liverman stars in this psychological opera based on Nellie Bly's story. Don't miss the premiering performances from September 21 to September 30.
