Blues In My Soul: The Legend of Legacy of Lonnie Johnson.
The story follows the meeting of enthusiastic disc jockey Chris Albertson and musical legend turned janitor, Lonnie Johnson. Chris, a long-time fan of Lonnie’s musicianship, is adamant that a collaboration between the two will reignite Lonnie’s career. Lonnie, who is pessimistic about the current demand for Blues, refuses the offer and seems to be more focused on his duties in the Benjamin Franklin Hotel. Ultimately, the pair bond over their love of music, and find common ground amongst the chords and lyrics.

F*CK the 7th Grade
An adolescent romance, a brief rise to pop stardom, a queer musical memoir (about how we’ll never get out of middle school) conceived by award-winning singer-songwriter Jill Sobule – whose 1990s hits include “Supermodel” and the original “I Kissed a Girl.”
Time travel back to the 70s as Jill Sobule, with the help of her middle school band, weaves a melodic tale about surviving 7th grade to become the first pop music artist to pen the first openly Queer song that landed on the Billboard Top 20. Jill guides the audience through the inner turmoil of pre-pubescence, the elation of getting a record deal, and the frustration and disheartening politics of dealing with the recording industry as a Queer artist. Can she ultimately embrace the song that made her a household name?

Last Gasp,a Recalibration
In Last Gasp, A Recalibration, Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver recalibrate demise: the demise of their aging bodies, our civil conversations, and a sustainable planet. Landing somewhere between the realms of the live and the virtual, present and absent, between staying home and venturing out, the piece combines spoken word, movement and Zoom technology to respond to the world we now find ourselves in.
In early 2020, these two icons of lesbian-feminist theatre set out to present Last Gasp, a live performance questioning demise: the demise of aging bodies, civil conversations, and a sustainable planet. The pandemic arrived and knocked the breath out of us, as did a period of civil unrest that marched under the banner of ‘I can’t breathe.’ The ironies were not lost as the duo locked down, stayed in and continued their investigations resulting in a Zoom recording, Last Gasp WFH.
Now almost two years later, Last Gasp: A Recalibration gathers us in the same room but not as the same people. Reworking Last Gasp WFH for the physical stage, Shaw and Weaver unpick what it means to be in a theatre, and what it means to perform. With episodes entitled ‘The Trump in Me’ and ‘How to Set a Table in an Emergency’, the legendary performance duo brings us together to recalibrate - we are not coming to an end but finding strategies for moving on.

Set in 1964 during the race riots in Harlem, this reflection on how art truly reflects life focuses on artist Bill Jameson and his latest work, three paintings representing three types of Black womanhood.

ANNOUNCES DATES AND GUESTS FOR
CLASSIC PERSPECTIVES
POST-SHOW CONVERSATION SERIES FOR
A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE
Classic Stage Company recently announced today its full programming for Classic Perspectives, a series of post-show conversations inspired by A Man of No Importance by Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty, and Lynn Ahrens. The Classic Perspectives series at CSC offers audiences the opportunity to explore each production’s themes in more depth, tying the classical stories onstage to the real-life experiences from past and present.
For
A Man of No Importance, CSC will lead the following discussions:
October 16
Happy 168th Birthday, Oscar Wilde
Featuring
Andrew Lear (LGBTQIA+ historian and professor) and Moisés Kaufman (Tony-nominated director and playwright)
From The Importance of Being Earnest to The Picture of Dorian Gray, the artistry of Oscar Wilde has enamored audiences for decades. Join in a celebration of Wilde's witticisms, charm, and legacy as we explore his major works and learn more about his fascinating life and career.
October 26
"You Know Where Smut Eventually Leads!"
Featuring
Jonathan Friedman (Director of Free Expression and Education Programs at PEN America) and Jonathan Toth
(Frontline Buyer for Barnes & Noble)
Artistic censorship has been a galvanizing issue since the heyday of Oscar Wilde's era in Victorian England through book bans in libraries across America today in 2022. We'll discuss what's changed (and what unfortunately hasn't) since England initially banned Salome in the 1890s.
November 6
CSC Community Discussion
Ever been curious about what that stranger sitting next to you thought of the play you just watched together? Now's your chance to find out! Stay after the show and join us in a guided discussion about the themes of A n Man of No Importance with your fellow audience

(Deputy Consul General of Ireland in New York), and
Christine Kinealy (Director of Ireland’s Great Hunger Institute at Quinnipiac University)
This special Saturday afternoon talk will explore the history of LGBTQIA+ rights in Ireland. Once
known as a deeply conservative and Catholic nation, Ireland was the first country to legalize same sex marriage by popular vote in 2015. How has the country evolved from the days of Oscar Wilde to the 1960s setting of the play to present day?
November 30
Behind The Scenes of A
Man of No Importance

Peabody Award Winner
ELLIOTT FORREST
Tuesday, October 11 at 7:00pm
At The Drama Book Shop (266 West 39th Street)
The Drama Book Shop announced today a reading, discussion and signing for Tony Award-winning set designer Beowulf Boritt’s new book, Transforming Space Over Time: Set Design and Visual Storytelling with Broadway’s Legendary Directors. Hosted by Peabody Award-winning broadcaster, director, and designer Elliott Forrest, Boritt will be joined in conversation with two of his collaborators on the book, legendary Tony Award-winning directors James Lapine and Susan Stroman.
The event will take place on Tuesday, October 11 at 7:00pm at The Drama Book Shop (266 West 39th Street). Tickets are $35 and available to purchase at dramabookshop.com, and include entrance to the event and a copy of Transforming Space Over Time. It is recommended that guests wear a mask inside. No merchandise, photos or other souvenirs will be allowed to be signed.
Transforming Space Over Time tells the stories of six diverse productions: five on Broadway and one Off-Broadway. Tony Award–winning set designer Beowulf Boritt begins with the moment he was offered each job and takes readers through the conceptual development of a set, the challenges of its physical creation, and the intense process of readying it for the stage. Theater is at heart a collaborative art form, and Boritt shares revealing details of his work with the many professionals—directors, designers, technicians, producers, stage managers, and actors—who contribute their talent and ideas to each show. Included here are extensive conversations with theater legends James Lapine, Kenny Leon, Hal Prince, Susan Stroman, Jerry Zaks, and Stephen Sondheim, explaining how their different approaches to theater help to shape the vision for a set and best practices for creative collaboration. Boritt also offers valuable insights into the sometimes frustrating but unavoidable realities of the “biz” part of showbiz—budgets, promotion, reviews, and awards.
Full of indispensable advice for aspiring and seasoned professionals, and with plenty of entertaining and enlightening anecdotes to engage passionate theatergoers, Transforming Space Over Time peels back the curtain and illuminates the artistry and craft of professional theatrical production—and particularly the all-important collaboration of designers and directors.

Quantum
By Tara Moses
Tuesday October 25 at 7:00pm
Ivy Johnson was adopted in the fall of 1998 to a Mexican American mother and an African American father. Although it's obvious that she's of color, she has never known where she comes from or her racial background – that is until she sorts through her mail at Thanksgiving. The following weeks come with major discoveries, but they only leave her with more questions. What makes someone Native?
PANELS: Identity Commodifications and Scarcity Mindset Sunday October 23 at 3:30pm (following the 2pm matinee of peerless; show attendance not required)

Talkbacks will be held following the Sunday October 9 and Thursday October 27 performances of peerless.
peerless, by 2019/20 Tow Playwright-in-Residence Jiehae Park (Hannah and the Dread Gazebo) and directed by Margot Bordelon (... what the end will be) began previews at 59E59’s Theater A (59 E 59th Street) on September 24, 2022, with opening night set for October 11 for a limited run through November 6, 2022. peerless is presented in association with 59E59 Theaters (Val Day, Artistic Director; Brian Beirne, Managing Director) and Jamie deRoy.
A darkly comedic twist on Shakespeare’s Macbeth set in the cutthroat world of elite college admissions, Jiehae Park’s clever and incisive adaptation, peerless, is a comedy...until it’s not. This new version of the classic story centers on M and L, twin Asian-American siblings who have given up everything to get into The College. When another classmate claims what they feel is rightfully “their spot,” the twins decide they have only one option: murder.
Tickets to peerless begin at $25 and are available now at 59e59.org/shows/show-detail/peerless.
