1) Endgame
Endgame tells the story of Hamm (John Douglas Thompson), who is reduced to living in one room, in which he sits, blind and chair bound. His only escape from his solitary world is the company of his aging, legless parents (Joe Grifasi and Patrice Johnson), who live in garbage bins, and his shuffling servant, Clov (Bill Irwin), who is at his beck and call, and who, like a dog, comes when whistled for. The only thing left for Hamm is to wait for the inevitable end.

2) How to Live
Poland, 1941: a young Jewish girl watches in horror as her father is brutally beaten by German soldiers. He makes her swear to keep silent. The next day, he also chooses silence. He stops speaking and spends a year reading Shakespeare. Postwar, the girl, Maria Pfeffer Orwid, becomes one of Poland’s leading psychiatrists and finds herself face to face with a man who worked as a doctor at Auschwitz - a man who believes that what he did to survive the war is unconscionable. How to Live is a meditation on grief, courage and in choosing life after insurmountable odds. Inspired by actual events.

7) AMERICAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PERFORMS SAINT-SAËNS’ ORGAN SYMPHONY
AND DAME ETHEL SMYTH’S MASS IN D, AT ST. BARTHOLOMEW’S CHURCH
ON JANUARY 27
Program Features Organ-Focused Performance on New York City’s Largest Organ
The American Symphony Orchestra continues its 2022-23 season on January 27 with a program at St. Bartholomew’s Church, a New York National Historic Landmark, exploring music for organ and orchestra by Camille Saint-Saëns and Dame Ethel Smyth. It features soloist Paolo Bordignon, organist and choirmaster of the church and harpsichordist of the New York Philharmonic, along with soprano Anya Matanovic, mezzo-soprano Eve Gigliotti, tenor Joshua Blue, and bass Adam Lau.
Friday, January 27 at 8 pm
St. Bartholomew’s Church, 325 Park Avenue
American Symphony Orchestra
Leon Botstein, conductor
James Bagwell, choral director
Camille Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78
Dame Ethel Smyth: Mass in D
The ASO joins St. Bartholomew’s Church, a New York National Historic Landmark, to present a performance focusing on organ music. The Orchestra has a particular connection to St. Bart's in that its founder, Leopold Stokowski, began his New York City career as organist and choir director of the church, and played this organ, the largest in New York City. The program opens with Saint-Saëns’ popular Symphony No. 3, dedicated to the memory of his friend Franz Liszt. Often referred to as the Organ Symphony, the work’s loosely symphonic form includes an organ for two of its four movements, and the composer himself conducted the 1886 premiere in London. British composer and social activist Ethel Smyth was a prominent member of the women’s suffragette movement. Although her work was marginalized due to her political stance on the women’s vote as well as her gender, she was nonetheless the first female composer to be granted a damehood (1922) and her opera Der Wald, mounted in 1903, was for more than a century the only opera by a woman composer ever produced at the Metropolitan Opera. Smyth’s only sacred work, her rarely performed, six-part Mass in D, premiered at Royal Albert Hall in 1893, and is dedicated to her friend Lady Pauline Trevelyan. Of note is Smyth’s request to place the Gloria movement at the end, rather than second as ordered in Catholic liturgy, so the work “would finish triumphantly.”

14) GINGOLD THEATRICAL GROUP
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR
SPEAKERS’ CORNER
NEW PLAY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
COORDINATED BY LILY KANTER RIOPELLE
MORE INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT
WWW.GINGOLDGROUP.ORG
Gingold Theatrical Group (David Staller, Founding Artistic Director) recently announced that applications are now being accepted for the 2023 cycle of its SPEAKERS’ CORNER New Play Development Program. To apply to Speakers’ Corner 2023, please visit bit.ly/SpeakersCorner23.
Named after the corner of London's Hyde Park where George Bernard Shaw and other political speakers have delivered speeches in a ‘safe place’ since 1855, GTG's Speakers' Corner brings together a handful of writers to explore Shaw's plays and activist humanitarianism. They will then each write a new play rooted in their individual responses to his work.
In 2023, the group will explore Shaw's use of comedy to engage with the social issues of his time as they remain relevant to us today. Writers will then write their own socially-engaged comedies inspired by this exploration, and the plays will be presented in industry readings in fall 2023.
GTG’s Speakers’ Corner New Play Development Program will choose four playwrights from the applications. Each writer will begin the process of writing a socially-engaged comedy from scratch, writing plays to be developed through readings and workshop labs by the end of this calendar year.
The goal, ultimately, is to create plays that will be fully produced as part of future GTG seasons. These plays will be inspired by prompts found within Shaw’s writing but will be created in each writer’s own unique voice.
In 2023, the group will be coordinated by Lily Kanter Riopelle, a NYC-based director who has directed or developed work with 59E59 Theaters, Clubbed Thumb, Ensemble Studio Theatre, the Williamstown Theatre Festival, The Tank, The Flea, Dixon Place, The Brick, NYMF, and more. She is an alumna of Clubbed Thumb’s Directing Fellowship, Manhattan Theatre Club's Directing Fellowship, and the Williamstown Theatre Festival’s Directing Corps, a member of the Lincoln Center Theater Directors Lab, and a New Georges Affiliated Artist. Lily is a founding co-artistic director of Two Headed Rep, a company that commissions new plays written in response to classics and produces the old and new works in rep.
Since the writers’ meetings will all be held in-person in Manhattan, all applicants should be locally based. For more information and to apply, visit www.gingoldgroup.org.

15) J2 Spotlight Musical Theatre Company
Announces its 2023 Season of Musicals
"WOMAN OF THE YEAR"
"SUGAR"
"THE GOODBYE GIRL"
APRIL 13 - MAY 21, 2023
AT THEATRE ROW
SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE NOW ON SALE
SINGLE TICKETS GO ON SALE
TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2023 |
J2 Spotlight Musical Theater Company (Jim Jimirro, Executive Producer/Co-Founder; Robert W. Schneider, Artistic Director/Co-Founder) announces the exciting three-musical lineup for its highly anticipated third season. The 2023 season, running April 13 through May 21, 2023 at Theatre Row (410 West 42nd Street - between 9th and Dyer Avenues), will include Woman of the Year, Sugar, and The Goodbye Girl. Creative teams and casting for the 2023 season will be announced in the coming weeks. Subscriptions for all three shows with a 25% discount as well as ingle tickets are now on sale.
The spring season kicks off with Woman of the Year (April 13 - 23) a Tony Award-winning adaptation of the classic film starring Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a book by Peter Stone. The sassy and clever musical centers around Tess Harding, America’s most famous TV reporter, and Sam Craig, America’s most famous cartoonist. When Tess goes on air to insult Sam’s work, the two start an epically public feud in their respective mediums. The feud turns to romance but not to harmony, in a delightful battle of the sexes between two outsized egos. The Kander and Ebb score features “Sometimes a Day Goes By,” “I Wrote the Book” and “The Grass is Always Greener.”
The second show of the season is the brash, brassy, and exuberant, Sugar (April 27 - May 7) based on the screenplay “Some Like It Hot” and featuring music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Bob Merrill, and a book by Peter Stone. Sugar follows the zany antics of two male musicians of the Prohibition era who witness a gang slaying. Hoping to hide from the mob, Jerry and Joe disguise themselves as “Daphne” and “Josephine” and join an all-female orchestra. Complications ensue when Joe falls for Sugar Kane, the group's lead singer. The fabulous score includes “Penniless Bums,” “The Beauty That Drives Men Mad,” “We Could Be Close” and “Beautiful Through and Through.”
The spring season closes out with the Neil Simon (book), Marvin Hamlisch (music), and David Zippel (lyrics) romantic dramedy, The Goodbye Girl (May 11 - May 21) based on the film which starred Marsha Mason and Richard Dreyfus in an Academy Award-winning performance. The Goodbye Girl follows the unlikely romance between Paula, a single mother who has been jilted one too many times, and Eliot, the opinionated actor who shows up – unexpectedly – on her doorstep with a lease to sublet her apartment. The tuneful and snappy score features “A Beat Behind,” “Eliot Garfield Grant,” and “I Think I Can Play This Part.”

16) La MaMa in association with Teatro delle Albe
presents the New York Premiere of
fedeli d'Amore (Love's faithful)
a polyptych in seven panels for Dante Alighieri
by Marco Martinelli and Ermanna Montanari
with music by Luigi Cerccarelli
January 26-28, 2023
La MaMa, in association with Teatro delle Albe, presents the New York Premiere of fedeli d'Amore (Love's faithful), a polyptych in seven panels for Dante Alighieri by Marco Martinelli and Ermanna Montanari with music by Luigi Ceccarelli, featuring Ermanna Montanari and live trumpet by Simone Marzocchi from January 26-28, 2023 at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, 66 E. 4th Street, NYC. Tickets are available at https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/1144598.
fedeli d’Amore (Love's faithful) is the new stage poem by Marco Martinelli focused on the exceptional vocal research of Ermanna Montanari (awarded “2018 best Italian actress” for this performance). The text revolving around Dante and our own present times, has been selected by Italian and American Playwright Project and published by PAJ Publications.
Different voices speak to us in these seven panels: the fog of a dawn in 1321, the demon of the pit where the merchants of death are punished, a donkey that carried the poet on his last journey, the "scolding" imp who incites brawls about money, Italy kicking herself, Alighieri's daughter Antonia, and "an end that is not an end". These voices, who are one single voice that can contain numberless voices, that of Montanari, speak to us of the refugee, of the poet fled from his own city and now laying on his deathbed, exiled in Ravenna, voices that are suspended between the fourteenth century and our own day.
In a scene generated by a vocal, sonorous, visual and dramaturgical alchemy able to bind together the psyche and the world, Dante is invoked while embracing a single salvation: Love is what makes us rebel, it is the force that liberates and elevates.

The performances will be held at the Mark Morris Dance Center, Duffy Studios, 3 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217, on January 27 and 28, 2023 at 7:30pm.

There’s More To Do is a collection of works about people – the situations they have created for themselves, the decisions they are confronted with, and where the expression of their humanity takes them. The company will present four new works: a series of solos, duets, and a full company piece created throughout 2022. These were brought to full fruition at The Barn Project 2 residency in Elkhorn, WI this past September.
Program:
There’s More To Do (2022)
Music: Sol Gabetta Vask’s Concerto #2 for cello and strings
A solo created with Lauren Twomley throughout 2022, this piece is an exploration of the essence of what makes us who we are. It is about looking deep within ourselves to process our past and present, a cathartic release of the scores our bodies keep, and the first step into navigating the future.
Conundrum (2018) - excerpt
Music: Brahms String Quartet #1 in C minor Opus 51
Conundrum has been and continues to be everything the name suggests. The spacial limitations and restrictions that this dance places upon the dancer represents the perceptions we have of one another that are mostly unfounded. This piece in its entirety is for four women. As the piece progresses, the dancers accumulate one by one, going on a journey of breaking barriers, supporting one another, and discovering the joy that comes from embodying their power. In this solo, Selina Shida Hack faces the decision whether to remain within the confines she created for herself or created for her, or to take the risk to break away.
Kathedra (2022)
Music: Caroline Polachek’s “The Gate”
A duet dedicated to the friendship and dancing partnership between Lauren Twomley and Ty Graynor, this piece explores and engages the physical and emotional places their relationship brings them. They navigate the internal and external forces that unify and separate them, melding their spirits into one while keeping the integrity of their individual selves.
Sonic (2022)
Music: Ivan Trevino’s “Catching Shadows”
A duet for Paulina Meneses and Mariah Gravelin with a driving force in speed and tempo exchanged between the two; one that conjures up a new and fast friendship.
In The Garden (2022)
Music: Voice by Paulina Meneses, written by Paulina Meneses, soundscape by Taavi Haapala.
Additional music by Hania Rani Hawaii Oslo, Max Richter “In The Garden”
In The Garden is the exploration of our life cycle. It dwells on the questions we ask ourselves as we move through this continuum. It immerses us in the natural, authentic aspects of our creative growth. Starting with Paulina Meneses as a soloist, we are taken on her journey that loosely represents a lifespan. It then transforms into a group work and explores the complexity of interpersonal relationships and the effects it has in the larger scheme of things. In this instance, we see the effect it has had on the soloist.
