New York’s only acting competition, Battle Acts, will continue at the Chelsea Musical Hall on Monday, February 20, 2023; doors open at 7 PM and the battle begins at 8 PM. Audience and performer tickets can be purchased by visiting www.BattleActsLive.com. Battle Acts features actors battling it out in front of a live audience and top entertainment industry professionals. This month’s industry professionals include the 2023 Lortel Lifetime Achievement Award winner Stephen McKinley Henderson (currently starring on Broadway in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Between Riverside and Crazy), Jeffrey Dreisbach (Casting partner at McCorkle Casting), and Joel Waggoner (Broadway’s School of Rock, Be More Chill) and Ayanna Prescod (freelance journalist, Broadway producer and Social Media Manager) joined by DJ Keith Shocklee (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Public Enemy).
Hosted by the Galinsky Brothers, whose long-running Manhattan Monologue Slam became a staple of the New York City acting community and was touted by the New York Times as “performers looking for that fabled big break are squaring off against one another in a flurry of monologues, with industry professionals sitting as judges,” Battle Acts brings together stage and film actors who go head-to-head in front of celebrity and industry insiders in an evening of raucous, fast-paced performances to be crowned the “Battle Acts Champ.” Produced by a team of industry vets whose credits include five TONY Awards, Executive Producer of the International Emmy Awards, Producer of multiple HBO Max Comedy Specials, and producer/director of over 50 TED talks. Battle Acts will give actors an opportunity to showcase their work in front of some of the top decision makers in the business and a live audience.
ACT ONE: The Championship Set
The team behind Battle Acts searches far and wide through multiple casting calls to find six of the best stage and on-screen talent to compete against each other by performing a two-and-a-half-minute monologue in front of a panel of judges consisting of Hollywood and Broadway managers, agents, celebrities, casting producers, and directors to find that month’s “Battle Acts Champ.” The “Champ” wins a cash prize and will return the following month to defend their title against a new set of actors.
Past judges of the Manhattan Monologue Slam included: James Gunn, Producer, “Guardians of the Galaxy”; Sarah Silverman, Actor, "The Sarah Silverman Program”; Michael K. Williams, Actor, “The Wire”; Tariq Trotter, Emcee, "The Roots”, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."
ACT TWO: The 30-second Set
This is where 15 “fresh faces” each perform for 30 seconds, judged by the live audience, and compete for a chance to battle the big dogs in next month’s Championship Set, as well as a cash prize.
The 2023 finale of Battle Acts is a year-end Championship show where one actor will be crowned the “Ultimate Battle Acts Champion” giving them the year-long bragging rights as the Best Actor in New York City.
Actors can register to perform by visiting www.BattleActsLive.com
The next Battle Acts will take place at Chelsea Music Hall on Monday, February 20, 2023 doors open at 7:00 PM. Audience guests can purchase tickets by visiting www.BattleActsLive.com.

19) ANN TALMAN
ELIZABETH TAYLOR AND
THE SHADOW OF HER SMILE
A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
MUSICAL DIRECTOR ALEX RYBECK
DIRECTED BY LINA KOUTRAKOS
Light the candles! Get the ice out! The Laurie Beechman Theatre will present a special – one night only! – performance of Ann Talman: Elizabeth Taylor and The Shadow of Her Smile. Ms. Talman was in attendance at the Oscar-winning actress’s 50th and 60th birthday parties and this evening will be in celebration of Ms. Taylor’s 91st heavenly birthday (February 27, 1932).
Ann Talman is an actor, singer, storyteller, award winning documentary filmmaker, and four-time Broadway veteran. She joined Actors’ Equity with co-star Elizabeth Taylor in 1981 when she landed the plum role in The Little Foxes playing Taylor’s daughter on Broadway. The show traveled the world for eighteen months and their loving friendship lasted for the rest of Miss Taylor’s life. Ann’s new cabaret show, Elizabeth Taylor and The Shadow of Her Smile, is directed by Bistro and MAC Award winners Lina Koutrakos with musical direction by Alex Rybeck. The show received critical and audience acclaim when it debuted at 54 Below in March 2022 and then again when it enjoyed a two-night encore engagement the following September.
The show is an evening of story and song about Ann and Elizabeth’s amazing bond. It is filled with hilarious and touching stories that only Ann can tell, woven with Broadway and Great American Songbook gems. Ann’s imitation of Elizabeth is so spot on, if you close your eyes, you’ll swear they’re together again!
Ann Talman: Elizabeth Taylor and The Shadow of Her Smile plays the Laurie Beechman Theatre on Sunday, February 26th @ 7:00pm. There is a $25 music charge ($20 for MAC members) and a $25 food and beverage minimum. Tickets and information are available here.

Ahead of its world premiere, go behind the scenes of this epic and viciously funny new musical by Michael R. Jackson, the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize–winning creator of A Strange Loop. In White Girl in Danger—a fever dream mashup of classic daytime and primetime soap operas, Lifetime movies, and red-hot melodrama—the citizens of the soap opera town Allwhite face high-stakes drama and intrigue all the days of their lives. Meanwhile Keesha Gibbs and the other Blackgrounds have been relegated to backburner stories of slavery and police violence for all of theirs. But Keesha is determined to step out of the Blackground and into the center of Allwhite’s juiciest stories. Can Keesha handle the Allwhite attention—especially from the Allwhite Killer on the loose? What role do the other Blackgrounds play in Keesha’s Allwhite schemes? And just whose story is this anyway? Members of the creative team discuss the show and their creative process. Cast members perform highlights before previews begin March 15 at Second Stage’s Tony Kiser Theater
White Girl in Danger was originally developed by Vineyard Theatre and will be co-produced by Vineyard Theatre and Second Stage Theater this spring.
