A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN
First Concert Reading at Joe’s Pub on October 1, 2022
Tickets Now Available
Tony Award nominee Mary Bridget Davies (A Night with Janis Joplin) will star in Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own on Saturday, October 1, 2022, at 7:00pm at Joe’s Pub (425 Lafayette St) channeling her powerful voice and presence in the play with original music.

A Room of One’s Own is both a landmark in feminist thought and a rhetorical masterpiece, which started life as Virginia Woolf’s lectures to the literary societies of Newnham and Girton Colleges, Cambridge, in October 1928. It was then published by the Hogarth Press in 1929 in a revised and expanded edition that has never been out of print. Addressed to audiences of female students, this became an unforgettable and passionate assertion of women’s empowerment by one of the great writers of the 20th century.

In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company has established a new dance institute through Zoom, The Bridge. The Institute’s aim is to bring together dancers, choreographers and directors around the world to experience the master teachers of color whose practices are embedded in the community and are focused on advancing the art of dance that transform the personal, environmental and metaphysical spaces. Interested dancers can join the class by registering here.
As a virtual dance institute, The Bridge will invite world renowned as well as up and coming dancers and choreographers to come to guest teach the class. Advanced/Intermediate level professional or pre-professional dancers who are looking to explore beyond their own boundaries and looking for new dance experiences are encouraged to participate. The core program is based on Nai-Ni Chen’s Kinetic Spiral, which is a cross-cultural dance vocabulary that integrates the Chinese martial arts philosophy in TaiChi with contemporary dance practices she studied in America. Guest artists will cover a wide range of folk and classical dance styles.
The Bridge Class schedule:
Monday, September 26, 2022 | Tina “Tino” Zoccoli-Mayers (Yoga) at 10am

Wednesday, September 28, 2022 | Rio (Kinetic Spiral) at 10am
Tapping into the creative energy of the universe through Kinetic Spiral. Nai-Ni Chen's signature technique is based on the principle of ever-changing universal forces of Yin and Yang to cultivate the dancer’s vital energy Chi (Qi) allowing the dancer to achieve higher performance with less effort. By focusing on breathing and images, Kinetic Spiral also balances the spiritual, mental and physical energy of the dancer. The Kinetic Spiral Technique forms the foundation of Nai-Ni Chen’s style of cross-cultural movement and embodies her efforts to work in the intersection of culture and race, advocating for equity with grace and power.

Ahead of the Broadway opening, the creators of Some Like It Hot, a new musical comedy based on the classic MGM film, discuss their creative process and preview highlights from the show. Set in Chicago when Prohibition had everyone thirsty for a little excitement, Some Like It Hot is the rollicking story of two musicians forced to flee the Windy City after witnessing a mob hit. With gangsters hot on their heels, they’re on the run as the newest members of the swingingest big band ever to cross the country. Can they hide in plain sight without completely losing themselves? Or will the mob, the truth, and maybe even love itself finally catch up to them? The new musical features a book by Matthew López and Amber Ruffin, music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman, and direction and choreography by Casey Nicholaw.

20)CARL MOELLENBERG’S STORY: BROADWAY AND SPIRITUALITY AS A PATH TO SURVIVAL
A MEMOIR FROM 13-TIME TONY AWARD ®-
WINNING PRODUCER
Tony Award-winning producer Carl Moellenberg's memoir, Broadway and Spirituality as a Path to Survival, will be released on Saturday, October 1, 2022, by Imagine and Wonder. It is now available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and others.
Moellenberg’s story is one of overcoming enormous obstacles and changing course to find his passion and true self to live joyously as a long-term survivor. It is a journey of many transformations: from Midwestern boy most interested in music to a fast-paced Wall Street career; from investment banking to becoming a 13-time Tony Award-winner on Broadway; from overcoming several death-defying crises by finding healing, inspiration from a higher-being and deeper spirituality. Moellenberg hopes his story will inspire others who face seemingly overwhelming obstacles to find their passion, reason to live, and to find love.
Moellenberg grew up in Ohio and then transitioned to the world of NYC financial institutions for 19 years. A combination of passion for music and serious health issues and spiritual inspiration caused him to jettison that life for producing theater on Broadway. Since that most joyful life-changing decision, he now has produced over 70 shows worldwide and won 13 Tony awards. His incredible path was accomplished despite multiple threats to his survival which were warded off by his passion for Broadway, newfound healing practices, spirituality, and love.

21) Pre-Roe Abortion Plea Letters Inspire New Drama
WHAT KIND OF WOMAN
September 23 - October 1 at Carnegie Stage, Pittsburgh
October 19 - November 19 at the cell theatre, New York
Nancy Manocherian's the cell theatre and off the WALL productions in Pittsburgh present the World Premiere of WHAT KIND OF WOMAN by Abbe Tanenbaum. While working as a personal organizer in New York City, Tanenbaum and her client uncovered twenty letters from women seeking abortions in the early 1970’s. Written to the landmark Women's Health & Abortion Project in Chelsea, just blocks from the cell theatre, these pleas for assistance are the inspiration for this play.
WHAT KIND OF WOMAN is a story of empowerment and the choices we make, for better or for worse. When aging feminist and lifetime ‘collector’, Nora gets a final opportunity to reconnect with her estranged son, she hires personal organizer and struggling actress Anne to whip her apartment into shape for his visit. But letting go of the past to make space for the present isn’t always straightforward.
The production will premiere in Pittsburgh from September 23 - October 1 at Carnegie Stage (25 W. Main Street, Carnegie, PA 15106). Tickets and info at www.insideoffthewall.com. The New York Premiere runs October 19 - November 19 at the cell theatre (338 West 23rd Street, New York, NY 10011). Tickets and info at www.thecelltheatre.org
