After a government mandate and Covid-19 safety concerns shut down theatrical productions on its stage for two years, Penguin Rep Theatre will resume presenting plays, comedies and musical revues starting mid-March, artistic director Joe Brancato announced today.

 On Monday, October 18th, Spencer Howard and his company Broadway Booker presented a star-studded concert at Birdland.

Spencer Howard and Kate Rockwell have a new company to promote and that led to a wonderful evening of musical entertainment at Birdland this week.

The Bridge Production Group's residency at the Brooklyn Navy Yards will also feature world premiere short plays by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright John Patrick Shanley (Doubt), a staged reading of a new play by Pulitzer Prize-nominee Lyle Kessler (Orphans), and the Picnic Plays, a series of informal readings of new work currently in development.
