The Merry Wives of Windsor
June 22 - July 1
This year Shakespeare's 70 will present William Shakespeare's only true farce. In this classic comedy, the rotund and rambunctious Falstaff decides to seduce both Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, respectable married women of Windsor, in the hopes that he can improve not only his love life, but his wallet. But the ladies see right through his plots, and form a few plots of their own. Mischief and hysteria follow, with lovers and lechers chasing after what they truly desire.

To Kill A Mockingbird
Lincoln Center Theater
Since its publication in 1960, Harper Lee’s TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD has won the Pulitzer Prize, has been made into a classic film, has sold more than 45 million copies and has never been out of print, is the second best-selling book in the world (after the Bible), has been translated into 40 languages, and has remained one of the most influential and beloved books of modern American literature. And yet the story has never come to Broadway – until now. The brilliant writer, Aaron Sorkin (Academy Award winner for The Social Network and multiple Emmy Award winner for “The West Wing”), has adapted the book into a new play, working hand-in-hand with Tony-winning director, Bartlett Sher.
The enduring story of racial injustice and childhood innocence centers on one of the most beloved and admired characters in American literature, the small-town lawyer Atticus Finch (Jeff Daniels). The unforgettable cast of players includes Atticus’s daughter Scout (Celia Keenan-Bolger), her brother Jem (Will Pullen), their visiting friend Dill (Gideon Glick), and their mysterious neighbor, the reclusive Arthur “Boo” Radley (Danny Wolohan). The other indelible residents of Maycomb, Alabama will be brought to life on stage by LaTanya Richardson Jackson (as the Finch’s housekeeper, Calpurnia), Dakin Matthews (as Judge Taylor), Stark Sands (playing prosecutor Horace Gilmer), Fred Weller and Erin Wilhelmi (as Bob Ewell and his daughter Mayella Ewell), and Gbenga Akinnagbe (playing Tom Robinson).
Written during the early stages of the Civil Rights Movement — at a time when Jim Crow laws were still in effect in many Southern states — TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD holds up a mirror to the ingrained culture of racism in the Deep South. Almost sixty years later the story still resonates deeply.
Previews begin Thursday, November 1

AT FEINSTEIN’S/54 BELOW, BROADWAY’S SUPPER CLUB
254 WEST 54th STREET – NYC
FEINSTEIN’S/54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents legendary Broadway and screen actress Carole Cook in “Back Where She Belongs: The Life and Times of Carol Cooke” - her New York cabaret debut - at the age of 94! - for two performances only – Tuesday, June 19 and Wednesday, June 20, 2018 @ 7pm.
After receiving rave reviews in Los Angeles and San Francisco, this fabulous evening of memories and song comes to Feinstein’s/54 Below. Carole sings numbers from Sondheim to Coleman – from Billy Barnes to Jerry Herman. She recalls a scrapbook of memories, from being Lucille Ball’s protégé to working with Ethel Merman.
Carole’s stage and screen career anecdotes are hysterical and historical. She was the second Dolly Levi ever in Hello, Dolly! (leading the Australian company), after Carol Channing. As one critic rhapsodized, “Exciting! A glowing star! The biggest and best excuse for unrestrained delight since you dreamed you won the million-dollar lottery.” She is the only actress to have played both “Auntie Mame” and “Mame.” She was in the original casts of Threepenny Opera, 42nd Street (originating the role of Maggie Jones), A Romantic Comedy, and Radio Gals. Her movies include The Incredible Mr. Limpet, Sixteen Candles, and more. So much more.
Back Where She Belongs: The Life and Times of Carole Cook plays Feinstein’s/54Below (254 West 54th Street) on Tuesday, June 19 and Wednesday, June 20 @ 7pm. There is a $50-$65 cover charge and a $25 food and beverage minimum. Tickets and information are available at www.54Below.com. Tickets on the day of performance after 4:00 are only available by calling (646) 476-3551. A portion of the evening’s proceeds will benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
