Birdland will kick-off their great week of programming with the following acts:

Start the new year with a showdown! Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati is pleased to present the regional premiere of Ripcord by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole, Shrek the Musical). This uproarious new comedy sets two spirited senior citizens against each other in a head-to-head battle of wits and wagers, leading to discoveries about friendship, forgiveness, and free falling. Playing January 19-February 16 and directed by D. Lynn Meyers. Production Sponsor is the Schueler Group.

The Marsh Berkeley has announced that due to popular demand it has scheduled an extended run of Lisa Rothman's hit show, Dragon in the Drop-Off Lane. This hilarious and cautionary tale describes what happens when Rothman's Oakland-raised kids venture into the fairytale world of Marin, where all the children seem to know how to sew, speak in a "Crystal Cave whisper," and decorate their (vegan) gingerbread men with stevia icing, carob chips, and unsweetened coconut flakes. Of course, no fairytale would be complete without a fairy godmother to help Rothman reckon with her parenting choices.

Cocktail Hour: The Show, by New York City-based company Ballets with a Twist, will make its Wisconsin debut at The Grand Oshkosh (100 High Avenue) on Saturday, March 30, at 7:30pm. Beer, wine, and a special selection of mixed drinks will be available in the lobby throughout the evening, with seat-side beverage service on offer to Suite Seat patrons.

The Tedd Firth Trio started January 2019 off in true genius form with a week of performances for their debut at the Birdland Theater on West 44th St. in NYC. The show had Mr. Firth taking control of the mic and hosting an evening of exciting music featuring Tedd Firth on Piano, David Finck on Bass, and Mark McLean on Drums. Each of the 4 nights of performances also featured a different guest artist singing a few tunes from their repertoire...songs sung in their own solo shows so often accompanied by Mr. Firth.

Arizona Theatre Company (David Ivers, Artistic Director; Billy Russo, Managing Director) presents a special limited engagement of With Love, Marilyn, a one-woman tribute performance to one of America's most iconic romantics, Feb. 14-17 at the Temple of Music & Art, 330 S. Scott Ave.

Although it comes across as 'The Breakfast Club' meets 'Natural Born Killers,' it's powerful as hell.

Seven years since the critically-hailed Between the Devil And Two Black Hearts (their last studio release), Los Angeles-based 8MM returns to the forefront of the orchestral alternative scene with a stellar new EP HEART-SHAPED HELL which will be released on February 22, 2019.  Featuring Grammy-nominated producer/mixer and multi-instrumentalist Sean Beavan (Nine Inch Nails, Thrice, No Doubt, Slayer) and multi-faceted wife/vocalist Juliette Beavan, 8MM has grown and evolved since their last release.  “In the past few years, we've found some really cool and interesting new artists putting out very cool work that reminded us of the vibe of our first EP, Opener,” Sean explains. 'It gave us the itch and inspiration to get back to our moody, cinematic roots. So, when one of our outside projects got pushed back, we found ourselves with a month free so we sat down and banged it out. It's our favorite collection of 8MM songs so far.”

Las Coristas nace de una adaptacion de Sugar, el musical de Broadway, que surge a raiz de una pelicula protagonizada por Marilyn Monroe. Esta historia toma lugar en Chicago en 1929. George y Billy son dos amigos musicos que estan desempleados. Por estar en el lugar menos indicado, son descubiertos por 'El Topo', un mafioso de corazon frio.
