Gabby & Chris Ford are as close as struggling twenty-something siblings can be, when their bond is blown apart by the seductive - and secretive - Matt Rhode. Part live rock show - complete with roadies changing the set and a kickass lead axe - and part heartstring-plucking drama, ALLIES features the songs of the legendary band Heart, including hits like 'Barracuda,' 'These Dreams,' and 'Alone.'
The Vagabond Theatre Ensemble will be presenting the Cabin Fever Festival throughout the month of February at the Medicine Show Theater (549 West 52nd Street) with their main stage production of THE WENDIGO as the centerpiece.
