12 Angry Men
January 17 - 26 Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays
The defense and the prosecution have rested. The jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young man is guilty or innocent of murdering his own father. What begins as an open and shut case of murder is soon derailed by the courage of one juror. What follows is a mini-drama exploring each juror’s prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused and each other. Forte Dramatic Productions presents this spellbinding play about justice, empathy, morals, the law and the value of human life. How will they come together in this delicate process to decide one boy’s ultimate fate?

One Night Only Jackie Hoffman
The Glorious Death of Comrade What's-His-Name Mom
Monday January 20, 9:30 PM
Grab a shot glass and toast the end of tyranny at a one night only concert of The Glorious Death of Comrade What’s-His-Name on Monday, January 20, 2020, at 9.30pm, at Feinstein’s/54 Below (254 West 54th Street). Doors are at 9.00pm. The Glorious Death of Comrade What’s-His-Name has a book by David Bridel (Dean of the USC School of Dramatic Arts), music by Simon Gray (BMI), and lyrics by Raymond Bokhour (Chicago).
Set in Stalin’s brutal Soviet Union, Semyon, an unemployed grumbler, becomes convinced that suicide is his ticket to fame and glory. Before long, friends and neighbors are plotting to exploit his impending death for fun and profit, and while they’re at it, topple an entire regime. The story is based on a farce, The Suicide, written by Nikolai Erdman in 1928. Stalin hated it, banned it, and sent its author to Siberia for twenty years. Critically acclaimed playwright Bridel creates a timely adaptation of this black comedy that crackles with wit and snowballing insanity. The score by Gray and Bokhour (both recipients of BMI’s Harrington Award for Outstanding Creative Achievement) is potent and exciting, filled with one killer song after another.
Visit bit.ly/ComradeTix to purchase tickets, priced $35-45, with premium tickets at $75. Note there is a $25 food and beverage minimum.

BROADWAY’S PODCAST
THE FABULOUS INVALID
FEATURES CONVERSATION WITH
TONY AND ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE
AND ORIGINAL “COMPANY” CO-STAR
BARBARA BARRIE
EPISODE NOW AVAILABLE
As it readies for its return to Broadway, Company’s original Sarah, Tony Award and Academy Award nominee Barbara Barrie, sits down for an in-depth conversation with Broadway’s podcast The Fabulous Invalid, whose co-hosts include Jamie Du Mont, Rob Russo, and Tony nominee Jennifer Simard, who plays the role of Sarah in the Company revival this season.
New episodes of The Fabulous Invalid, released each Wednesday, are available on iTunes and Spotify, and on the Broadway Podcast Network.
The Fabulous Invalid is a Broadway-centric podcast hosted by theater stalwart Jamie Du Mont, writer and critic Rob Russo, and Tony Award nominee Jennifer Simard. Now in its second season, on a weekly basis the group takes a 360-degree view of the business of Broadway through interviews with actors, writers, directors, designers, and everyone in between. Pull up a chair and join them as they gossip a bit, banter about the latest news, and get up-close with the most prominent players currently working in the theater. The podcast takes its name from the title of a 1938 backstage play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart that has since become a loving nickname for Broadway itself—always deemed on the verge of decline, yet always bouncing back: “the fabulous invalid.”

Back by popular demand! The Year of the Solar Eclipse follows three women in a shocking year of love lost, love found and self-discovery.
When three best friends gather to watch the solar eclipse, they have no idea how their own lives are about to change. Angelina’s secret world of boundaries and control is threatened when she faces her true shadow- intimacy. Ivy’s life hits a crisis when she suddenly becomes single and is forced to relearn who she is without a partner. And Elle finally confronts her secret past and repressed emotions. Ultimately they are faced with the same question: to run from or let in their shadows.
With humor and heart, this provocative dramedy tells the tale of humans who are exploring all the light & shadow sides of themselves.
All performances are at the Wild Project (195 E. 3rd Street, between Avenues A & B).
