| | Starting Here, Starting Now
Lyrics by Richard Maltby, JR. Music by David Shire
Produced at Barbarann Theatre Restaurant, NYC by
Steve Abrams, Mary Jo Slater, Scott Mansfield and Morton Schwartz
February 8 – 11 at 7:30 PM
Starting Here, Starting Now is a thrilling and touching musical revue using the songs of Richard Maltby, Jr., and David Shire (Big, Baby, Closer Than Ever).
Using songs from their various early musicals (produced or otherwise), this bold, extroverted journey takes a winsome cast of three through the maze of modern relationships with its heart firmly on its sleeve. As with all of Maltby and Shire's work, each song is an impeccably crafted story – original, engaging, bursting with character and showcasing the versatility and charisma of its performer.
From tender ballads to hysterical husband-hunting laments, from wry comments on trendy marriages to ecstatic shouting-from-the-rooftop celebration, Starting Here, Starting Now has an appealing freshness that has made it a perennial favorite throughout the world.
Starting Here, Starting Now
Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre are International (MTI).

| | Sense and Sensibility
by Jane Austen
adapted by Kate Hamill
April 13 – 15 & 20 – 22 at 7:30 PM
A playful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters—sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne—after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable. Set in gossipy late 18th-century England, with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality. SENSE AND SENSIBILITY examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart? | Buy tickets |
