Can we practice goodness and create a world to sustain it? This question, posed by Shen Tei, the good-hearted, penniless and cross-dressing prostitute of Bertolt Brecht's Good Person of Szechwan, is central to the work of The Foundry Theatre. The play's concerns, and the earmarks of the Foundry's new production, make it an ideal offering from the company, which is celebrated for creating memorable theatrical events while pursuing civic inquiry and social justice. The show, starring the singular Taylor Mac as Shen Tei, is directed by Lear deBessonet and features original live music by 'indie rock vaudevillians' (SPIN) Cesar Alvarez and The Lisps.

German cabaret vocalist Ute Lemper and Berlin's Vogler Quartet are joined by pianist and clarinetist Stefan Malzew, as they perform music from the Weimar-era on Thursday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m. in Zankel Hall.

Paris Days, Berlin Nights es el sugestivo título con el que Ute Lemper ha bautizado su último trabajo.

El lanzamiento, el pasado 20 de marzo, coincide con el inicio de una gira norteamericana que empezó hace unos días en el Kennedy Center de Whasington y terminará el 6 de abril en Quebec, deleitando también a los asiduos que la cantante tiene en ciudades como Vancouver, Los Angeles, Toronto y, por supuesto, Nueva York.

Running through February 26, Caroline, or Change will be performed in the Archbold Theatre at Syracuse Stage, 820 East Genesee Street.
