A supa awesome laugh-out-loud family adventure! Cat Kid and Molly Pollywog have started an epic club to teach 21 rambunctious baby frogs how to make their own comics! Their fishy father, Flippy, is overjoyed that his kids will learn to unleash their creativity. Still, when the frogs’ constant bickering and outrageous imaginations send their comics comically off the rails, Flippy flips out! Will the club survive? Will the frogs ever get along? And will creativity finally save the day? All will be answered in this madcap musical based on Dav Pilkey’s irreverently hilarious spin-off series Cat Kid Comic Club, adapted by Kevin Del Aguila and Brad Alexander, the team that brought you Dog Man: The Musical.

Adapted from a vast array of General Eisenhower's memoirs, speeches, and letters, Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground is a candid and fascinating fictional eavesdropping on President Dwight D. Eisenhower at his Gettysburg, Pennsylvania farm. It is 1962 and The New York Times Magazine has published its first list ranking the American Presidents in order of greatness. Pondering his placement on the list, Eisenhower looks back on his life - his Kansas upbringing, his decorated Army career, his victories in World War II, and his two terms as President – contemplating the qualities and adversities that make an American President great.

7) Ballet Hispánico Returns to
the American Dance Festival
July 21-22, 2023
Ballet Hispánico, the nation’s largest Latinx cultural organization and one of America’s Cultural Treasures, returns to the American Dance Festival on July 21 & 22, 2023, at 7:30pm. Activities include a post-performance discussion on July 21 and a children’s matinee at 1:00pm on July 22, all taking place in the Reynolds Industries Theater at Duke University, Bryan University Science Center, 125 Science Drive, Durham, NC. The company will present a mixed bill curated by Artistic Director & CEO Eduardo Vilaro featuring repertory favorites and two new commissions. Tickets start at $12 and are available here.
In the ADF-commissioned Papagayos, Omar Román De Jesús follows a mischievous character who puppeteers humanity while simultaneously scoffing at the people’s plight. Feverishly, the Papagayo dissolves everyday agency in a solvent of absurdity. Checks and balances mutate, seemingly at random. This is a shapeshifting story of power, influence, and identity in the face of unauthorized control. Club Havana is Latin dancing at its best. The intoxicating rhythms of the conga, rumba, mambo, and cha cha are brought to life by choreographer Pedro Ruiz, himself a native of Cuba, as he imagined his very own “Club Havana.” The show will also include William Forsythe’s New Sleep (Duet), which first premiered in 1987 by the San Francisco Ballet, and Línea Recta by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, which premiered at the Apollo Theatre in 2016.
Papagayos – World Premiere
Papagayos follows a mischievous character who puppeteers humanity while simultaneously scoffing at the people's plight. Feverishly, the Papagayo dissolves everyday agency in a solvent of absurdity. Checks and balances mutate, seemingly at random. This is a shapeshifting story of power, influence, and identity in the face of unauthorized control.
New Sleep (Duet) (excerpt)
William Forsythe’s New Sleep (Duet) (1987) — a neoclassical master work scored by composer Thom Willems – demonstrates Forsythe’s ability to deconstruct classical vocabulary and maintain a strict precision without confining the physical expression within the movement. His work was long admired by Ballet Hispánico founder Tina Ramirez who, for many years, sought an opportunity for the Company to present one of his pieces. In honor of Tina, two members of the Company will perform an excerpt from New Sleep (Duet) at each performance. This production of New Sleep (Duet) was made possible by the generous contributions of Gaily and John Beinecke, and Dhuanne and Douglas Tansil.
Club Havana (2000)
One of the company’s signature works, this is Latin dancing at its best. The intoxicating rhythms of the conga, rumba, mambo, and cha cha are brought to life by choreographer Pedro Ruiz, himself a native of Cuba, as he imagined his very own “Club Havana.”
Línea Recta (2016)
From one of today’s most sought-after choreographers comes a powerful and resonant work that explores an intriguing aspect of flamenco dance: the conspicuous absence of physical partnering. While maintaining the integrity and hallmark passion of the genre, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa imagines an original and explosive movement language premised upon the theme of partnership and performed to flamenco guitar by Eric Vaarzon Morel.

9) BROADWAY ADVOCACY COALITION PRESENTS
What Now: Unplugged at DROM
The Tony Award-winning non-profit Broadway Advocacy Coalition (BAC) presents “What Now: Unplugged”, a music jam session meets community organizing brainstorm meets late night party. This event and fundraiser will take place at DROM on Monday, July 24 at 7:30 pm.
What Now: Unplugged, an interactive music experience that puts the power of what’s possible back in the hands of the people. With the help of the Liberation Band and Broadway Advocacy Coalition, industry members will come together to create original music (grooves) that tells a new story of where we want the theater industry to go. Bring your voice and your vision, and get ready to activate towards what is possible.
As the Great White Way continues to let down performers of color and many other communities in creating equitable creative and professional spaces, What Now: Unplugged seeks to activate action among these performers through community engagement to organize and create effective change in the theatre industry. The mission of this event is to utilize collaboration from a community of creatives in the industry to share how they are directly impacted by inequity on Broadway and, by way of sharing their voice and talents, gather data and inspire steps forward to advocating for change.

12) GINGOLD THEATRICAL GROUP’S
18TH SEASON OF
PROJECT SHAW
WILL CONTINUE WITH A SPECIAL BENEFIT PERFORMANCE OF
BERNARD SHAW’S
PYGMALION
MONDAY JULY 24 AT 7PM
AT SYMPHONY SPACE’S
LEONARD NIMOY THALIA THEATRE
TICKETS AVAILABLE AT
symphonyspace.org/events/vp-
Gingold Theatrical Group (GTG) (David Staller: Artistic Director, Greg Santos: Managing Producer, Sean Bertrand: Managing Producer Associate) announced today that Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw will continue their 18th season of Project Shaw. Inspired by the works of George Bernard Shaw, Project Shaw is a special series of play readings that aim to provoke peaceful discussion and activism. Shaw’s Pygmalion will be presented at Symphony Space’s Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre (2537 Broadway at 95th Street) on Monday July 24, 2023, at 7PM. To reserve tickets, visit symphonyspace.org/events/vp-
Pygmalion, Shaw’s most famous and beloved play, as well as the basis for the musical My Fair Lady, is a rollicking comedy that reminds us of the importance of being as fully connected to both our heads and hearts as we can, and to live our lives as fully as possible. A celebrated professor of phonetics makes a wager that he can pass a bedraggled Cockney flower girl off as a duchess at an ambassador’s garden party by giving her the tools of education. But, before the lessons are over, she has become his teacher, as well: helping him learn to face his emotional self as an aware human. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a commentary on women’s independence.
Additional readings for the 18th season of Project Shaw will be announced at a later date. This season, every play will be presented in a concert-reading format at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theater at Symphony Space. Tickets are $40 and will be available for purchase by calling 212-864-5400 or visiting www.symphonyspace.org

ANNOUNCES THE STREAMING RELEASE OF
CANDIDA
Gingold Theatrical Group (David Staller, Founding Artistic Director) announced today that their 2022 production of Candida, one of George Bernard Shaw’s most popular plays, will be available for streaming Tuesday July 25-Sunday July 30, 2023. Directed by David Staller, Bernard Shaw’s Candida began previews on October 5, 2022, and opened October 25, for a run through November 19, 2022, at Theatre Two in Theatre Row and was nominated for the 2023 Off Broadway Alliance Award for Best Play Revival.
CANDIDA: The Romcom That Started It All! This incredibly taut romantic comedy by Bernard Shaw will be reset from London 1895 to Harlem 1929. The Reverend James Morell and his wife Candida live a comfortable life until the young poet, Marchbanks, is taken into their home and challenges everything they’ve built their lives upon. It’s a time of global upheaval as six characters come together on one tumultuous day to redefine not only who they are but also how to launch into their futures in a more fully self-aware way. Written as a lighthearted response to Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, this short but pithy play races along in ever-surprising ways. This is also the play that later inspired the Robert Anderson play, Tea and Sympathy.
Streaming passes for Candida are available for $25 at tinyurl.com/CANDIDA2023.

One Dance (Il-mu) has been described as “a wonderful blend of traditional and contemporary dance that reflects the times we live in.” It’s a modern interpretation of ceremonial dance from traditional Jongmyo Jeryeak (Korean court music), designated as “Intangible Cultural Heritage” by both the Korean government and UNESCO. A performance of “Il-mu,” originally played in a formation of several rows and columns of dancers, is recreated by Korean traditional dance choreographer Hyejin Jung (Artistic Director of the Seoul Metropolitan Dance Theatre) in collaboration with modern dance choreographers Sung Hoon Kim and Jae Duk Kim. A classic yet contemporary reinterpretation of ceremonial Korean traditional dance, the performance features a large formation and picturesque stage that creates a sense of grandeur, harmony, and balance. Kuho Jung, a Creative Director who has made a name for himself in fashion and the arts, offers his audience a compelling mise-en-scène that captures the essence of K-Arts in a feast for the eyes and the soul.
Tickets start at $30 and are available online here, at the Box Office at 63rd and Columbus, or by phone at 212-496-0600.

The innovative trio Dongyang Gozupa blends the national folk songs known as gugak with prog rock, experimental music, and heavy metal with a completely unique, modern-meets-traditional post rock combo of bass guitar, drum kit, and the Korean traditional hammered dulcimer called the yanggeum. The result is a thrillingly fast-paced, bombastic wall of percussive sound that defies easy pigeonholing. Open-minded listeners will find the band's 2022 sophomore album, KYUL, to be a treasure trove packed with aggressive shredding, instrumental flights of fancy and original compositions constructed with enrapturing complexity.

Bong followed his critically acclaimed Memories of Murder with this Seoul-set giant monster spectacle starring Song Kang Ho and Bae Doona. After an enormous amphibious mutant—rendered as alternately chaotic, lethal, and clumsy—emerges from the Han River and begins attacking the city, a young girl is carried away by the beast; in response, her family members do everything in their power to rescue her from its clutches. A high-concept disaster film and then some, The Host took inspiration from a real incident from 2000, in which a Korean mortician was ordered by the U.S. military to illegally dump formaldehyde and gives ample space to shrewdly satirize national and foreign bodies in crisis—from inept and uncaring governments to self-righteous protesters. An NYFF44 selection and part of the New York Asian Film Festival taking place from July 14-30, 2023 at Film at Lincoln Center, co-presented by NYAFF and Film at Lincoln Center.

17) THE SOL PROJECT & PLAYPENN
WILL PARTNER ON DEVELOPMENTAL READINGS OF
PUBLIK PRIVATE
A NEW PLAY
BY EPPCHEZ YO-SÍ YES
IN PHILADELPHIA AND NEW YORK THIS SUMMER
After a year of partnership discussions, The Sol Project and PlayPenn are proud to announce a joint project that serves the missions of both organizations. The organizations will partner on two developmental readings of the new bilingual play Publik Private by eppchez yo-sí yes.
The Sol Project and PlayPenn began discussions about a collaboration in 2022, after Associate Artistic Director Santiago Iacinti participated in that year’s SolFest. As part of The Sol Project’s efforts to support Latiné voices in the theater across the country, The Sol Project is excited to work with the vibrant theater community in Philadelphia for the first time and support the work of a Philadelphia-based playwright, eppchez yo-sí yes, and their new play Publik Private.
Some private things have to be made public if we want to live—in the way that our bodies become public when we go outside, where we will be perceived. Publik Private grapples with the past, as the protagonist attempts to reconcile their ancestors’ own gender expansiveness with the roles those same ancestors played in erasing queerness through colonization and genocide.
Through collaboration with PlayPenn and The Sol Project, this play has been expanded from a solo performance piece to a three-person cast. The first reading will receive a week-long, 29-hour development process. After the reading in Philadelphia, a post-show conversation will take place with the playwright and audience for questions and feedback that can be incorporated into the play in advance of the New York reading.
The first reading will take place in The Proscenium Theatre at The Drake (302 S. Hicks Street. Philadelphia, PA 19102) at 2 p.m. on July 23. The team includes Santiago Iacinti (Director), Santiago Tonauac Castro (Dramaturg), Melody Wong (Stage Manager), Brenna Geffers (Casting), Xavier Chenet-Smith (Performer 1), Han Van Sciver (Performer 2), Ximena Violante (Performer 3), and Gabriela Pereira Dupont (Stage Directions). The reading will be open to the public free of charge and seats can be reserved now (RSVP HERE).
The second reading is set for late August as part of the sixth annual SolFest, The Sol Project's Latiné Theater Festival, produced in partnership with Pregones/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater. The reading will take place in Pregones/PRTT’s space in Midtown Manhattan (304 West 47th Street). The annual festival features new work by Latiné playwrights that reflects the diaspora of Latinidad. Santiago Iancinti will return to direct. Cast and ticket information for the New York reading will be announced at a later date.
