Neil Simon's Jakes Women
Friday September 30 - Sunday October 9, 2016
Maurer Productions OnStage presents a foray into the world of modern relationships by the master comic playwright Neil Simon. Jake, a struggling novelist, handles the world in his imagination much better than that pesky real one just outside his study, where the shadow of a failing marriage looms large. Prompted into both real and imagined conversations with the ladies in his life, Jake finds his wildly comic and sometimes moving flashbacks are occasionally interrupted by visitations from actual females.

South Street Seaport Museum
announces
Archtober 2016 at the Seaport Museum
and a special accompanying exhibition
The Architecture of Trade
October 2016
The South Street Seaport Museum announces Archtober 2016 at the Seaport Museum, a series of special walking and sailing tours celebrating the architecture of the Seaport District and Schermerhorn Row. Presented in association with Archtober, Architecture and Design Month New York City, and in honor of Schermerhorn Row's selection as Archtober Building of the Day on Monday, October 10, 2016, the Seaport Museum announces the opening of its new special exhibition The Architecture of Trade: Schermerhorn Row and the Seaport. The exhibition is presented in two parts, in the museum's mezzanine level and fourth floor galleries at 12 Fulton Street.
The Architecture of Trade: Schermerhorn Row and the Seaportexamines the life of Schermerhorn Row, Manhattan's only surviving row of Federal style merchant counting houses, and its place in the Seaport at South Street through the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as its connection to New York's enduring urban evolution. What happened on South Street ignited New York's transformation from a provincial trading town into a global metropolis. The architecture of Schermerhorn Row traces this dramatic change.
The exhibition in the mezzanine area, accessible from the main entrance of the Seaport Museum on 12 Fulton Street, is dedicated to Schermerhorn Row's more recent history in the 20th century. Using photographs and documents, the exhibition follows the story of Schermerhorn Row and the Seaport as they were rescued by preservationists from certain demolition, and covers the Row's early restorations starting in the 1970s.
By limited tour only, the fourth floor galleries of Schermerhorn Row will be opened to explore the 19th century portion of the exhibition. Here, Schermerhorn Row's early life is covered, from its very beginning as a real estate investment in an era of booming maritime trade on the East River, to its changing circumstances in the late 19th century as the Seaport declined in commercial significance. This story is told through artifacts from the collection, architectural elements, and the building itself. Within Schermerhorn Row are the preserved remains of rooms abandoned in the early 20th century.
Due to the fragile nature of the preserved rooms and the need to climb several flights of stairs, entry to the fourth floor exhibition will be limited. Access will be through an exclusive guided tour only. Tours will be available twice a month. Tour tickets are $15 ($10 for Museum members), and must be purchased in addition to general admission. Please note that this portion of the exhibition requires climbing four flights of stairs. For accessibility accommodations please contact the Museum at 212-748-8700. For more information, to check tour availability, or to reserve tickets, visit www.southstreetseaportmuseum.
The 20th century section of the exhibition, located on the mezzanine level, is included in general admission. Admission is free for Museum Members. Non-member tickets are $12 for adults; $8 for seniors (65+), Merchant Mariners, Active Duty Military, teachers, and students (all with valid ID); $6 for kids (ages 6-17) and free for children ages 5 and under. For more information or to reserve tickets, visit www.southstreetseaportmuseum.

JENNIFER PASKOW
A Celebration of Life, Love & Connection
for Children & their Families
Make A Circle leads off by showcasing Jennifer Paskow's rich, honeyed voice on "Make A Circle," whose central message is to extend your love to others by learning to love yourself. "On The Inside," an anthem to self-esteem, encourages young people to look within to discover their intrinsic value.
"I Am A Tree" connects us to one another and Mother Earth by presenting the metaphor of a tree connecting to the earth as an emblem of the oneness of all things, while "Celebrate This Day" urges physical movement to express the sheer joy of life. Continuing the celebration theme, Jennifer Paskow's version of "This Little Light of Mine" is a manifestation of traditional hand-clapping gospel exuberance.
Celestial bodies receive their due in the wrap-up of this beautiful album. The soothing sounds of "Hello Moon" depict the wonder of being connected to nature and the universe, while "Long Time Sun" is an Irish blessing that Jennifer Paskow sings at the end of every children's yoga class she teaches
Make A Circle will be available on iTunes, Amazon, and CDBaby.

EAR SNACKS: SONGS FROM THE PODCAST
by
ANDREW & POLLY
Meet Andrew and Polly, award-winning music makers and hosts of Ear Snacks, a radical new podcast for kids. Andrew & Polly's new album of quirky, eclectic and fun tunes embedded in brisk, brainy repartee, Ear Snacks: Songs from the Podcast, will be released on September 30th.
The first season of the podcast -- over seven hours of free content for children and their families -- includes interviews with more than 60 kids and 35 adult experts along with an original score and a slew of genre-busting Andrew & Polly songs. Now the duo presents a selection of music from the first season, re-contextualized on Ear Snacks: Songs from the Podcast. The album of fourteen expertly produced tunes ranges from introspective and insightful to anthemic and absurd, delivering addictive earworms and surprises around every corner,
Ear Snacks: Songs from the Podcast kicks off with "Dancing Pants," based on the true-to-life tale of a pair of pants that were so incredibly sparkly they needed their own horn section. "Dancing Pants" featuresAndrew & Polly's L.A. neighbor, the incomparable Mista Cookie Jar, whose rap makes the song "next level cuckoo."
A photo that Polly Hall took of a miniature toy stegosaurus with a fierce shadow became the inspiration for "Tiny Dino," produced as if Simon & Garfunkel, with a little help from Toto, had written the theme song to a Saturday morning cartoon of thirty years ago.
Other highlights include "Grapes," the SiriusXM Kids Place Live chart topper from the very first episode of Ear Snacks, and "How Can You Tell If It's Going to Rain?" which offers a '60s ethos updated for the third millennium.
Ear Snacks: Songs from the Podcast will be available at CDBaby, Amazon, at Andrew & Polly's website - www.andrewandpolly.com - and at their shows.
