'Finding My Voice' 'I still can't hear you' echoed in my head as I left rehearsal the other day. 'I still can't hear you.' Among the notes from Liesl after our first stumble-through were the repeated reminders about my volume and size. 'You're not in an independent film,' she said. Despite doing my homework, tightening my objectives, and warming up my voice: three weeks in and they still can't hear me.

Two added performances of LYPSINKA! THE BOXED SET have just been added to the schedule: Sunday, December 21 at 7 PM and Sunday, December 28 at 3 PM.

After a 9-year absence, a triple dose of the legendary Lypsinka, John Epperson's iconic creation, is currently being doled out, and the 'Goddess of Showbiz' has deigned to grace New York City with her sweeping presence in LYPSINKA! THE TRILOGY. The opening was held on November 13, and BroadwayWorld has photos from the festivities below!
