3) A One-Night-Only Reading of
Frank J. Avella’s
Vatican Falls
To Be Presented by Ashley Garrett
Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at 7PM
At Alchemical Studios
Vatican Falls, Frank J. Avella’s epic play set against the backdrop of the Catholic sex abuse scandal, will have a reading presentation on Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at 7PM at Alchemical Studios, 104 W 14th St., (between 6th & 7th Avenues), NYC.
Vatican Falls is based on factual accounts and events and follows the life of one abuse survivor who struggles with how those closest to him could damage him the deepest. As the sex abuse scandal grows and more horrific details are released state by state, this story becomes more and more vital to the times we are living in. When will Time be Up for those who harm children?
The epic story centers on Riccardo, an Italian-American based in Rome, Italy, who is a member of SCAR (Survivors of Catholic Abuse Refuge), a group of survivors who initially band together to seek an apology from the Vatican but decide retribution is the only way to counter the Church’s unrepentant complicity in the scandal.
The play runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes and will have one intermission.
Admission is free and open to the general public. Seating is limited. RSVP via vaticanfalls@gmail.com or call 973-715-2356.

**TELEVISED PERFORMANCE SET TO TAPE
MERE MOMENTS BEFORE THE CURTAIN RISES ON
THE NEW BROADWAY MUSICAL’S
GALA OPENING NIGHT PERFORMANCE**
NOW IN PREVIEWS AT BROADWAY’S
IMPERIAL THEATRE
Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations will make its national late-night television debut on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” on Thursday, March 21st. This televised performance will tape mere moments before the new Broadway musical’s Opening Night performance is scheduled to begin.
The appearance will include the Classic Five Temptations – Derrick Baskin, James Harkness, Jawan M. Jackson, Jeremy Pope, and Ephraim Sykes – as well as the complete 18-piece Ain’t Too Proud band, performing the numbers “Get Ready” and “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg.” The Temptations have appeared on “The Tonight Show” many times over the years, starting in 1967 and throughout the following three decades.
Ain't Too Proud is the electrifying new musical that follows The Temptations' extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. With their signature dance moves and unmistakable harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts creating an amazing 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one. The rest is history — how they met, the groundbreaking heights they hit and how personal and political conflicts threatened to tear the group apart as the United States fell into civil unrest. This thrilling story of brotherhood, family, loyalty and betrayal is set to the beat of the group's treasured hits, including “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Get Ready,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and so many more.
Tickets for Ain’t Too Proud are available by visiting www.Telecharge.com, by calling 800-447-7400, or by visiting the Imperial Theatre Box Office (249 West 45th Street). For groups of 10 or more, visit www.BroadwayInbound.com or call 866-302-0995.

9B) WORLD PREMIERE OF
JEAN-CLAUDE VAN ITALLIE’S
THE FAT LADY SINGS
DIRECTED BY DAVID SCHWEIZER
INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED OPERA SINGER LAUREN FLANIGAN
AND DOWNTOWN LEGEND TONY TORN TO STAR
PERFORMANCES BEGIN MARCH 21, 2019
AT THE DOWNSTAIRS THEATER AT LA MAMA
La MaMa presents the premiere of legendary playwright Jean-Claude van Itallie’s The Fat Lady Sings at La MaMa’s Downstairs Theater (66 East 4th Street). Directed by Drama Desk Award winner David Schweizer, the production is scheduled to begin previews on March 21, 2019, with an opening night on March 25, 2019 (running run through April 7, 2019). The cast will feature New York City Opera sensation, Lauren Flanigan, and actor, Tony Torn, known for his celebrated experimental theater work. They will be joined by Jake Horowitz, Nancy McArthur and Jose Useche.
The Fat Lady Sings is the wild, truthful play that we have all been waiting for. The Fat Lady Sings exposes the rotting old belief systems and moth-eaten myths that have brought 2019 America to its knees. A White authoritarian evangelical family -- the father eerily like today's occupant of the White House -- lives out its excruciating and abusive confusion of real and virtual on an ancient, dream-like, falling-apart ship of false notions. Filled with rage, despair, and denial; and, exploited by politicians, preachers, and commercial corporations, the family careens toward catastrophe but also -- amazingly -- cathartic change.

ORGANIZATION
RELEASES MUSIC VIDEO OF THE CLASSIC SONG
“WE KISS IN A SHADOW”
STARRING
JELANI ALLADIN AND MATT DOYLE FOR
R&H GOES POP!
ITS NEW YOUTUBE SERIES
The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization announced today the release of the third music video for its new YouTube Series, “R&H Goes Pop!”. The video features Jelani Alladin (Frozen) and Matt Doyle (The Book of Mormon, Spring Awakening), performing a stirring duet of “We Kiss In A Shadow” from the classic musical, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The King and I, featuring music direction and arrangements by Will Van Dyke. The video series is hosted by Laura Osnes (Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella; South Pacific).
The new video on the Rodgers & Hammerstein YouTube channel can be seen here. There is also a special introduction by Alladin and Doyle, which can be seen here. The song is sung in the show by the characters “Tuptim” and “Lun Tha”, who declare their love for each other while also fearing they can’t ultimately be together and have to hide their relationship from The King of Siam. Similarly, this new video shows how even in today’s times, this world does not accept all kinds of love between two people.
The YouTube series launched in January of 2019 with the premiere of a music video featuring Jeremy Jordan (Newsies) singing “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” with arrangements created by Jordan and Benjamin Rauhala. Last month’s video featured Laura Osnes and Jeremy Jordan performing “The Next Ten Minutes Ago" – a mashup of “Ten Minutes Ago” from Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella and “The Next Ten Minutes” from Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years with arrangements by Benjamin Rauhala and Kurt Crowley.

Now in his early 60s, Émard probes the states of being of a man who wants to believe that all is not lost. Without sacrificing the precision and formality that are the hallmarks of his thirty-year dance career, he approaches this work in a spirit of pleasure and freedom, driven by the idea that the special qualities of mature performers give them their very own rich form of expression.

ACTUALLY, WE’RE F**KED
Written by MATT WILLIAMS; Directed by
JOHN PASQUIN
WILL EXTEND THROUGH APRIL 21
At Cherry Lane Theatre
Cherry Lane Theatre proudly announces that its current production of ACTUALLY, WE’RE F**KED, which opened on March 7 and initially set to run through April 7, will now extend its run through April 21, 2019. ACTUALLY, WE’RE F**KED is a new play by Matt Williams and directed by John Pasquin.
In ACTUALLY, WE’RE F**KED, four millennials order take-out every Thursday, drink too much wine and argue over how to rescue the planet. They know the world is a dumpster fire, and they’re the generation to fix it. That is, until someone makes a life-changing announcement that challenges their beliefs, their relationships and whether babies should have their own Instagram accounts.
