With a nod to the economic woes of families, Bay Street Theatre is offering up new Family Friendly Fares for their latest hit, Dames At Sea. Bay Street's production, which the NY TIMES calls, 'A joyous sendup bursting with can-do spirit', is a rollicking musical filled with song and dance that could melt the hardest of hearts.

What happens when the stock market crashes, the country is in financial turmoil, and a plucky theatre company is trying to stay alive? No, this is not the story of Bay Street Theatre in 2009, but rather the backdrop for Bay Street's summer musical delight, Dames At Sea. With book and lyrics by George Haimsohn and Robin Miller and music by Jim Wise, Dames At Sea is a rollicking valentine to the campy musicals of Hollywood in the 1930s and is sure to be fun for the whole family.

3 years, 7 notebooks, and 1 song on 'So You Think You Can Dance' later... Katie Thompson returned to the Laurie Beechman theater to sing 'songs from her notebook'. When she's not IN a new musical (Michael John LaChiusa's 'Giant' at The Signature Theater) or WRITING a new musical ('R.R.R.E.D. a Secret Musical' coming soon to the New York Musical Theatre Festival) Katie has spent her 'free' time writing pop songs. The concert decided the fates of those songs... because Katie is MAKING A NEW ALBUM and played through every bitter-sweet love, sexy dull-hate, and tragically funny moment she's had since 'KT LIVE' -or at least as many of them that she could fit in an hour!

As the end of July approaches, so too does the final curtain on Bay Street's darkly humorous, Dinner, featuring Mercedes Ruehl. Recently reviewed by the press as '...supremely acted, riveting, beautifully written... breathtaking in its accomplishments,' this American premiere is a unanimous success. A dinner party from hell is the focus of this wicked satirical comedy, where caustic comments fly like poisonous darts across the dinner table. The playwright reminds us that 'revenge is a dish best served cold', but at this dinner party it is served frozen. The play closes August 2nd and tickets are going fast.
