3) 5th Annual Rogue Theater Festival
Rogue Theater Festival is back once again making waves for emerging playwrights. This year on June 6th-18th, they’re presenting over twenty, brand new, one act shows at Theatre Row in New York City and on ShowTix4U. Rogue is staying true to its name by choosing to not only present mostly full length shows, but to also extend its festival an entire week because of the massive amazing new work submissions that flooded its inbox this year. In its five years of supporting emerging artists and presenting their work, Rogue has been able to share over 150 new shows and work with over 500 artists in New York City and around the globe. Uniquely Rogue, some of those shows have taken place entirely virtually with playwrights submitting work from across the country and across the pond to be viewed throughout the entire run of the festival.
The lineup for Rogue this year includes new plays, musicals, staged readings, and an entire second week labeled Rogue Theater Festival: Encores! This second week will feature artists that have worked with Rogue in the past, and end by presenting the play “Senseless” by Wayne L. Firestone, which has been developed over his years of participating in the festival. Rogue Theater Festival and Rogue Theater Festival: Encores! will be running at Theatre Row June 6th-18th, 2023 and will premiere eleven brand new shows. You can catch the other eleven brand new shows streaming on ShowTix4U during that same time frame. Tickets will be on sale May 22nd and available for purchase online or by phone.

4) Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre
Announces
Habit Formed Season Preview
June 10, 2023
Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre announces a preview of their developing work Habit Formed as part of its 23rd Annual Performance Season on June 10, 2023 at NYU Studios, 11 Second Avenue, NYC at 6pm & 7:30pm. The 7:30pm performance will be followed by a reception. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit amandaselwyndance.org/habit-
Habit Formed explores how habits are created and broken in our lives. These habits can manifest strength, ease, and freedom, and also create limits, boundaries, and affliction. Repeated group motifs and mounting physical structures (cages, boulders, netting) will embody the ways in which we, as humans, are habit forming creatures. Through Selwyn’s playful, athletic, and sensuous movement vocabulary, the habits will be unpacked. The ultimate journey of the work will tell a story of discernment, unpacking how we can be empowered by our habits and not impaired by them.
The performance will include Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre’s company of 11 dancers, costume and scenic design by Anna-Alisa Belous, lighting design by Dan Ozminkowski, and sound design by Joel Wilhelmi.

9) Cherry Orchard Festival presents
Polina Osetinskaya,
Piano:Baroque Masterpieces
from The Greatest Films of All Time
At 92NY
The 2023 Cherry Orchard Festival, running from June – July 2023 across the nation, presents Polina Osetinskaya at 92NY on June 10, 2023 at 8pm at 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10128. As part of her North American tour, Osetinskaya will perform some of the most enduring musical masterpieces in history featured in some of the world’s greatest films. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit https://www.92ny.org/
Polina Osetinskaya makes a triumphant solo return to the United States, after a critically acclaimed appearance at Carnegie Hall with Maxim Vengerov in October 2022. With her signature virtuosity, Osetinskaya brings to life seminal works by Bach, Handel and Rameau, from epic films such as Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather,” Anthony Minghella’s “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” Stanley Kubrick’s “Barry Lyndon,” and others. The dramatic qualities of the music, which had once enhanced the pivotal moments in these great films, are now distilled by Osetinskaya into a thoughtful and engaging live program.
As a firebrand activist, Osetinskaya’s outspoken opposition of Putin’s regime manifests both on and off the recital stage. Just last month, her Shostakovich recital was raided twice by Moscow police, but Osetinskaya and her fellow musicians and audience members persisted to see the program through. Elsewhere, she has been vocal about her anti-war stance while remaining in Moscow, and has faced cancellation of her concerts in all state and government concert halls.

NOWHERE, like the world we live in, exists at the edge of a new frontier. Infused with Yue’s stirring physicality and dynamic movement, NOWHERE takes us across boundaries on a journey of self-discovery and provides a communal transcendent experience. This world premiere production features original and live music by Alexandre Dai Castaing.
