Tickets are now on sale for the 2018 New York New Works Theatre Festival at www.nynwtheatrefestival.com. The festival runs September 4 - September 22, 2018. The festival is playing at Theatre Row, a program for Building the Arts NY, Inc.
One of the many missions of theatre is to entertain, to provide a fantasy escape from the often harsh realities of our contemporary world, and given the horrifying headlines of late, the delightful confection that is The Taffetas offers a welcome retreat into nostalgia for an era that was - at least as we remember it - surely sweeter, simpler, gentler. Rick Lewis' revue imagines a quartet of winsome, homespun singing sisters from Muncie, Indiana, who take the audience on a musical journey through the 'fabulous fifties' at the same time that they offer a glimpse into the lives and dreams of four young women of the era. The result is a polished, stylish, tongue-in-cheek romp that leaves the audience joyful, amused, and more than a little envious of a time gone by.
Tanna Frederick will star in indie film director Henry Jaglom's romantic comedy 'The ‘M' Word,' which begins principal photography November 28th in Los Angeles. Corey Feldman (Lost Boys), Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos) and Francis Fisher (Janie Jones) will co-star.
Marvell Repertory Theatre (Lenny Leibowitz, artistic director; Amy Estes, managing director) is NYC's only professional theatre - one of a handful in US - devoted exclusively to producing new and enduring works in rotating repertory.
