Somewhere amidst the cracked asphalt and overgrown weeds on the
highway to nowhere is Miss Hope's, a small-town diner where wistful
wannabes with half-forgotten dreams meet, mingle and tell their
stories. Consisting of three timeless tales with more than a little
laughter, tears, irony and a pinch of The Twilight Zone, and told
against the backdrop of the presidential inaugurations of Bill
Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Miss Hope's will be open for
business starting May 23rd at the Sargent Theatre at the American
Theatre of Actors, located at 314 West 54th Street. Miss Hope's is
directed by David Triacca, and written by Jack Karp, Alisha Silver and
Joseph Samuel Wright of the Nylon Fusion Writers Collective.

The Christmas Schooner is the heart-warming musical about a German-American shipping captain and his crew who braved the icy waters of Lake Michigan to bring Tannenbäume (Christmas trees) to the immigrant families of Chicago. Heartfelt storytelling - with wonderful music and dance - captures the true spirit of the holidays, celebrating the joy of giving and the importance of sharing traditions between generations and between neighbors.
'In a world of ‘me first' mentalities, this story of an immigrant family is one of love and sharing; a generosity of spirit that drives people to use the skills and resources at their disposal to reach out to those who are less fortunate,' says History Theatre artistic director Ron Peluso. 'That is why The Christmas Schooner is so popular; it reflects the best of what our nation and community can be, at the holidays and throughout the year.'
