SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8TH
UpStaged Scholastic Productions, a diversified student performer platform, will host UpStaged 1: Step and the City, the National Collegiate Performing Arts (NCPA) ™ Step Championship on Saturday, February 8, 2020, at 7.30pm at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center (1941 Broadway at W. 65th St).

The winner of the 16-team bracket-style competition will walk away with the UpStaged College National Champion title, and top finalists will receive UpStaged NCPA Step All-American recognition, and a share in over $5,000 in prize money. Step, talent, and modeling agents will be in attendance to select performers for Step Afrika and Off-Broadway’s Stomp, as well other talent and modeling castings.
UpStaged 1: Step and the City features a dynamic new performing arts championship format, like collegiate athletic brackets, with one on one matches in quarters, semis, and finals, where the winner advances in NCAA tournament style.

Scheduled during the height of New York Fashion Week at the largest U.S. performing arts center, the championship line-up features top teams from Brandeis University, Emory University, Mercy College, Pace University, St. John’s University, Syracuse University, Temple University, Tufts University, Williams College, and Yale University, with additional teams to be confirmed.
Featured in the films Stomp the Yard and Spike Lee’s School Daze, and the documentary Step, step dance is rooted in African-American competitive group song and dance rituals incorporating the entire body as an instrument to produce rhythms and sounds involving aspects of cheer, gymnastics, breakdance, drill team, and call-and-response.
Step represents the first among many performing genres, like NCAA sports, for which UpStaged is building competitions. Currently, 480,000 NCAA athletes are efficiently organized and marketed in 19-21 men’s and women’s sports, while 7.5 million college and high school performers in 35 genres remain a fragmented landscape without overriding national structure.

A new solo-show about the intersection of OCD
and queer identity
UNSTUCK
January 30 - February 23 at The Tank
in Midtown
After a sold-out run in August, Olivia Levine’s solo-show, UNSTUCK, returns to The Tank for a limited engagement. The production runs January 30 through February 23 with opening night slated for January 30. UNSTUCK is written and performed by Levine and follows her journey with OCD from childhood to adulthood. Molly Rose Heller directs
Ever been afraid to use the word “delectable” in a sentence after JonBenet Ramsey said it the night before she was murdered in the JonBenet Ramsey Lifetime Original Movie? Ever have to shout “green car, green car, green car,” every time a green car zooms down the street? If you answered yes, you probably have OCD. We've all heard about the hand washing, the touching, the counting. But most of us haven't heard the rest of it -- the fear of accidentally causing violent harm to a loved one, the fear that using a particular word might result in the death of your best friend. Killing people with your vagina germs! Accidentally impregnating your mother! The list goes on.
UNSTUCK explores the intersection of Olivia Levine’s OCD with her sexuality and identity as a queer woman, focusing on how it engages with her familial, platonic and romantic relationships. Using storytelling, standup, and movement, she explores the evolution of her OCD and the pains, surprises, and gifts it has afforded her.
The Tank is located at 312 West 36th Street (between 8th & 9th avenues), 4th Floor, New York, New York 10018. Subways: 1, 2, 3, 7, A, C, E, N, R, Q, W to 34th Street. Running time: 1:15. Tickets are $18 and are available at https://bit.ly/2rNepHZ.

All The Natalie Portmans is a fantastical new coming of age comedy. Sixteen-year-old Keyonna and her older brother Samuel live on the brink of eviction while dreaming of a better tomorrow. Too smart, “too gay” and too lonely to fit in, Keyonna escapes into a world of rom coms, red carpets and all the iconic characters played by her muse, Natalie Portman. But when “all the Natalie Portmans” start talking back to her, Keyonna finally has to face her off-screen drama in this imaginative new play that reminds us to embrace life on the ground while still reaching for the stars.

After the transatlantic African slave trade was banned in 1807, blackbirding – capturing free African-Americans and fugitive slaves above the Mason-Dixon Line and selling them into slavery – was all the rage. Blackbirding uses sound, vision, and storytelling to recontextualize the concept, bringing it into the present.Blackbirding features Queen Esther, Rosa Curry (Broadway: Dream Girls, The Rocky Horror Picture Show), and Jeff McLaughlin as the Guitarist/Music Director.

Iman Schuk is an actress, model and emerging playwright. A student of the human experience, Iman uses her writing to highlight the compelling richness and complexity of everyday people living their everyday lives. She shares this work in honor of her father Sam Smith, who told her to have the courage to follow her own pen wherever it should take her. This Open Earth is a 75-minute play that encourages us to discover the rich texture of the relationships around us. It expresses the subtle but binding experiences and relationships that create the “community” we ultimately depend on. In this play, we consider the idea that maybe the most compelling, interesting, necessary and impactful stories don’t belong to the celebrities or social icons or big personalities, but instead to the real-life people we see moving through their real-life struggles in the apartment right next door. This Open Earth features Alexandra Foucard (Broadway: Les Mis, Guys and Dolls), Chuk Obasi (NY: The Actual Dance), and Tonye Patano (HBO’s” Weeds”).

11A) En Garde Arts production of Fandango for Butterflies
(and Coyotes)
Inspired by the true stories of undocumented immigrants living in New York, this world premiere play, which is fused with a celebratory fandango, travels to all five boroughs of NYC
Fandango for Butterflies (and Coyotes) begins performances on Thursday, February 6, with a press opening of Monday, February 10 at 7 pm, at the historic Ellen Stewart Theatre at La MaMa before touring all five boroughs of New York, ending its run on Saturday, March 28 at the Irondale Center in Brooklyn (see below for full tour schedule). Single tickets, which range from $10 - $45 are on sale now. To purchase tickets and for more information, visit www.engardearts.org. The approximate running time is 90 minutes.
On the eve of city-wide ICE raids, a group of immigrants gather in an undisclosed community center in NYC for a fandango. As fear encroaches — fear for family left behind in their home countries, fear for loved ones in the middle of their dangerous journey to New York, fear of leaving the sanctuary of the community center simply to get a bag of ice — a sense of camaraderie builds between the participants. Strangers become friends, friends become family, and the fandango plays on.
Fandango for Butterflies (and Coyotes) is a beautifully rendered expression of hope and celebration of community shared through music, dance, and storytelling.
Free tickets are offered to audience members who bring their jaranas and participate in the fandango during this theatrical celebration!
The performances will be in English and Spanish with supertitles, making it fully accessible to Spanish and English-speaking audiences. The NYC Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs will be at select performances to provide both immigrants and allies with resources and actionable steps.

The following is a out of the area we generally cover but we wanted to share it with you. It is similiar to the recent Broadway Musical The Prom.
Lonny Price directs Evan Kinnane, Lee MacDougall, and Thom Allison in
Theatre Calgary’s
THE LOUDER WE GET
based on the true story of Marc Hall, with book by Kent Staines, lyrics by Akiva Romer-Segal, and music by Colleen Dauncey.
The Louder We Get follows the true story of former Ontario native Marc Hall, who fought for his right to take his boyfriend to high school prom. 17 years later, the meaning and message of Marc’s story is just as important today, as it motivates and inspires people to embrace equality and stand up for who they are. It is a story about speaking up for what you believe, standing up for someone you care about, and making change.
The Louder We Get runs at Theatre Calgary January 28 - February 22, 2020, in the Arts Commons Max Bell Theatre, in Calgary Alberta, Canada.
