I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

A) Beginning Performances

1) The Good John Proctor

THE GOOD JOHN PROCTOR is a new look at the lead-up to the Salem Witch Trials, imagining the inner lives of the real girls at the center of the trials as they hurtle toward the events dramatized in Arthur Miller’s THE CRUCIBLE. Abigail Warren, age eleven, and Betty Parris, age nine and a half, are best friends. There's also Mercy Lewis, the child alcoholic, and Mary Warren, who shakes for no reason. The girls churn butter, play with poppets, and listen to The Woods at night. But their world is turned upside-down when Abigail starts to work for a farmer named John Proctor. Playwright Talene Monahon brings these familiar names to new life as the young women of Salem navigate the nature of Satan and the bloody trials of adolescence. THE GOOD JOHN PROCTOR marks the first BEDLAM production directed by someone other than Artistic Director Eric Tucker.

Connelly Theater (220 East 4th St.)
3/11 - 4/2
Opening Day 3/19

For more information or to purchase tickets, visit  bedlam.org



2) Medea

MEDEA directed by O’Dea, the production fuses Euripides’ classic with excerpts from Cherubini's Opera Medea – featuring a small core group of classical actors who are also classically trained opera singers - performing both genres as part of a production that seamlessly merges the two. 

Theater for the New City (155 First Ave.)
Through 3/12 


For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.fusiontheatrenyc.com



3) Misty

Fusing live music, spoken word, and absurdist comedy, Misty is an exhilarating journey through a city in flux, transporting audiences to the streets of gentrifying London in an exploration of the pressures and expectations that come with being an artist in our time. In a performance that is part poem, part concert, part confession, Kene self-consciously wrestles with cultural representation and identity politics as they pertain to a new play he has been commissioned to write. This riveting production is accompanied by a pulsating original score performed by a live band and composed by Arinzé Kene, Shiloh Coke and Adrian McLeod.

The Shed's Griffin Theater (545 W. 30th St.) 
Through 4/2
Opening Night 3/9

For more information or to purchase tickets, visit theshed.org/program/264-misty


4) Sancocho

Simmering between two Puerto Rican sisters is a family tension that finally comes to a boil. Forced to confront the reality of their father’s rapidly declining health, Renata and Caridad clash over cultural divides, unearth old wounds, and reveal long-buried secrets. As Caridad’s sancocho bubbles on the stove, will the two sisters reconcile their past resentments to face their uncertain futures – together? A searing Off-Broadway Premiere play by Christin Eve Cato.

WP Theater (2162 Broadway)
3/11 - 4/9
Opening Night 3/23

For more information or to purchase tickets, visit  www.wptheater.org


5) Shucked

What do you get when you pair a semi-neurotic, New York comedy writer with two music superstars from Nashville? A hilarious and audacious farm-to-fable musical about the one thing Americans everywhere can’t get enough of: corn. Shucked is the new musical comedy that proves sometimes tearing down a few walls, rather than growing them, is the only way to preserve our way of life. Shucked is about to turn Broadway on its ear and offer a kernel of hope for our divided nation.

Nederlander Theatre (208 West 41st St.) 
Starting performances 3/3
Opening Night 4/4

For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.shuckedmusical.com

6) The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart

The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart unfolds among and around its audience, weaving an ingenious, lyrical, and enchanting story told with live music throughout its intimate and supernatural setting. The Club Car is transformed into a high-spirited Scottish pub for the occasion. The show, a transporting and music-filled Scottish folk theater fable, played an acclaimed engagement at The McKittrick Hotel in 2017. 

McKittrick Hotel (530 W. 27th St.)
3/8- 4/30
Opening Night 3/20

Portraits of Meryl Streep, Julie Andrews, Stephen Sondheim, Liza Minnelli and John Leguizamo, many of them signed by their subjects, will also be on display, and visitors will have the chance to create a Hirschfeld portrait of themselves with a new app created exclusively for this exhibition.

16) Battery Dance NOW
March 8-11, 2023 at New York Live Arts


Battery Dance presents Battery Dance NOW, featuring the work of three female choreographers, on March 8-11, 2023 at 7pm at New York Live Arts, 219 West 19th St., NYC. Tickets are $35 (standard), $20 (student/senior/veteran), and $75 (VIP opening night reception). For more information and to purchase tickets, visit tickets.batterydance.org.

In its New York Live Arts debut, Battery Dance has assembled Battery Dance NOW, a program of three contemporary dance works that explore time and transitions: Robin Cantrell's “The Liminal Year" captures the natural resistance to isolation and the need to fight against fear; Ana Maria Lucaciu’s "It Goes By Quick" explores the urgency and frustration of seeing time slip away; Tsai Hsi Hung’s "A Certain Mood" was inspired by the contrasting shift from dark to light in the work of abstract expressionist painter Hans Hofmann.

Each work is set to an original music score. “The Liminal Year" and "It Goes By Quick" have never been presented in a theater before; both premiered at the 2021 Battery Dance Festival and will now receive full lighting and staging during this engagement at New York Live Arts.

As an added feature to the evening, Battery Dance presents the world premiere of “GREY,” a music video featuring two Company artists, Jillian Linkowski and Razvan Stoian, who were commissioned by the band Eventually Epic to appear in this three-minute film.

With music from every style of the piano repertoire, the Four Elements can be heard in the floating chords of the French Impressionists to the fiery turbulence of the German Romantics to the vitality of the Spanish Dance to the soulful Russian Melody. These are expressions of the vast piano literature that cover every area of the human experience in more than three centuries.

Presents the World Premiere Performance of
ARRAY’s LEAP: The Reckoning
by Francesca Harper, music by Nona Hendryx
March 11, 2023 at 7:30pm

Works & Process at the Guggenheim presents the World Premiere of ARRAY’s LEAP: The Reckoning by Francesca Harper, music by Nona Hendryx. Tickets available now at www.worksandprocess.org.

ARRAY’s LEAP: The Reckoning by Francesca Harper, music by Nona Hendryx
Saturday, March 11, 7:30 pm
Tickets $5-$45, Choose What You Pay

This World Premiere performance of The Reckoning is multidisciplinary choreographer and director Francesca Harper’s response to the 2010 killing of seven-year-old Aiyana Mo'Nay Stanley-Jones at the hands of Detroit law enforcement. In collaboration with composer Nona Hendryx, Harper creates an expressive historical record of injustice as she explores the relationship between erasure and commodification in the media's coverage of brutality against bodies of color. Dancers from Ailey II and FHP Collective perform in costumes by Elias Gurrola, with lighting design by Itohan Edoloyi. The Reckoning exists as both an upcoming film and a live performance, premiered for one night only on March 11, 2023.

“Francesca Harper's choreographed movements, through every gesture and elongation offered by the dancers, stirs up the sorrow and frenzy that was dispensed the night Officer Joseph Weekly's bullet struck and killed Aiyana Stanley-Jones,” said ARRAY SVP of Public Programming Mercedes Cooper. “By imagining the future self of Aiyana, the artist condemns the erasure of her young life and demands we confront the systems that police our communities with a carelessness towards Black bodies.”

A behind-the-scenes video, additional information about the film, and information about the Works & Process performance at the Guggenheim Museum are available to view at leapaction.org.
