Ze Follies Dorée will present THE SHOW OF SHOW SHOWS: THE SHOW!
Experience 'French New York,' singing chickens, curious can-cans, dirty barbershop quartets, off-kilter advertisements, dazzling guest-star appearances, and endless encores every Friday night in February at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective.
THE CENTER AT WEST PARK (CWP), the Upper West Side's cultural hub for diverse, engaging, and boundary-pushing performing arts, announces the performances of Gamepiece, a new interactive performance from Christian Flynn, as part of the 2023 Evolution Festival, a multi-disciplinary performance festival featuring three original works-in-progress of theater, dance, and music by NYC-based artists.
Directed by Howard Teichman for the West Coast Jewish Theatre at the Miles Memorial Playhouse in Santa Monica on a beautifully detailed split-level set designed by Kurtis Bedford and lit by Ellen Monocroussos, Neil Simon's classic took on a more emotional dedication from the cast with Simon's passing on August 26, 2018 during the show's rehearsal process. But even though Teichman keeps the pace moving along at a steady pace, running at almost 3 hours with very little laughter, the play, though extremely well written and performed, does seem a bit long and drawn-out as there certainly were moments when it could have ended much sooner and still been as effective.
It's 1949, the war is over, and America is beginning a new chapter. Eugene Jerome and his brother Stan are being given a chance to audition as comedy writers for CBS in the emerging medium of television. If they succeed, they'll move out of the family home in Brighton Beach and into the Big City. Eugene, however, is distracted. He's fallen in love and thinks his new girl is The One. Stan has episodes of writer's block.

This darkly romantic drama unfolds over divergent timelines - following the moment a boy falls in love with a dragon in Texas, and, a thousand miles north, the moment of crisis when a woman's fragile marriage is put to the test by the reappearance of her fire-breathing ex-lover.
Know Theatre's 19th Season leaps into 2017 with a darkly romantic regional premiere about the extremes to which we'll go for love - and the collateral damage our choices leave behind.
