First look photos!Things are going swimmingly for theatre goers in NYC’s Greenwich village, as Literally Alive Family Theatre “The Little Mermaid the Musical” opens its enchanting Off-Broadway run at the Players Theatre.

As any parent will tell you, viewing life through the eyes of a twelve year-old girl can be quite a trip and Lewis Carroll made it a trip down a rabbit hole in his beloved classic Alice in Wonderland.  Wishing to honor Carroll's unique insight into this curious world, creators Michael Sgouros and Brenda Bell have created a musical that will capture the imaginations of every child ages 1 to 101.  The musical premiered in NYC in 2012 and Literally Alive Family Theatre is reviving the production as a special tribute for their 20th Anniversary Off-Broadway.

As long autumn shadows cast their spell across Greenwich Village, the days grow shorter and the nights grow restless and long, enticing the Headless Horseman to realize his lonely, faithful quest.  Sleepy Hollow, an original musical by Michael Sgouros and Brenda Bell, which began previews on September 28th at The Players Theatre in New York City's Greenwich Village, reveals a haunting deeper than the woods of the hollow. Its shadows are cast from the darkness of the human soul.

Comedy Burlesque is a musical satire troupe based in NYC's West Village seeking to surprise and entertain through original parodies, both political and fantastical.

Now playing at the Players Theatre, "Cinderella" is a light-hearted, touching adaptation of the well-known fairy tale.  The show features book and lyrics by Brenda Bell and original music by Michael Sgouros, played by two live percussionists and a trumpet player, creating a delightful mixture of good-hearted humor and tender remembrances.  This Cinderella doesn't wait around for her dreams to come true - she makes them happen.  Of course, she is inspired by a little magic along the way.

The Players Theatre continues their annual holiday tradition of presenting A Christmas Carol the Musical for the ninth year. The production is a warm and uplifting adaptation of the classic Dickens tale that celebrates the essence of holiday spirit. With original music by Michael Sgouros, played by a live percussion trio, the show is wrapped in the warmth of joy, suspense and a sprinkling of tender-hearted redemption.
