BILL NELSON’S BIG HAPPY DEPRESSION SHOW
Winner of Walt Disney Imagineering Creative Entertainment New Voice Project
A Fun, Funny and Honest Evening of Brand New Songs
7:00pm / Tickets begin at $15
Judith Light started it. Ya know her—from TV's “Who's The Boss?” She taught a very confessy class to help writers get past their blocks. At the feet of Angela Bower, BILL NELSON admitted out loud for the first time that he'd been tangoing with depression. As if on cue, nearly everyone else in the room confessed the same thing. Learning how common it is amongst writer types, Bill knew he needed to be wide open about it, and to do so in the Bill-Nelsoniest way possible.
Poor, lonely depression is stigmatized and not often talked about despite over sixteen million Americans experiencing its funkiness. This evening of songs—about everything in depression's orbit—shatters the silence. You might guffaw, possibly learn a little somethin’ new, potentially let a single tear sexily streak down your cheek, and likely leave with joy in your heart and a tune in your head.
Lyrics are by Bill Nelson with music by a collection of some of the best composers on the planet: Rick Bassett, Ben Boecker, Joanna Burns, Christiana Cole, Marialena DiFabbio, Mátti Kovler, André McCrae, Angelique Mouyis, Bradford Proctor, Willem Oosthuysen, David Shenton, Jason Sirois, Joseph Trefler, Niko Tsakalakos, and Jon Hugo Ungar.
Featuring CHRISTIANA COLE, NATALIE JOY JOHNSON (Kinky Boots), HASSAN NAZARI-ROBATI, LORA NICOLAS, CATHLEEN OLIVA, ROBERT LEE POOLE III, HEATHCLIFF SAUNDERS (Company), JASON SIROIS, JON HUGO UNGAR, and BRIANA YOUNG. JASON SIROIS - musical director, co-producer, vocalist
A portion of the profits benefit Mental Health America (MHA).

SALLY SHAW
2021 Playbill’s Search for a Star Winner
In her NYC Debut Solo Show!
7:00pm / Tickets begin at $15
How do you debut? If I wait long enough to figure it out, it won't be a debut anymore. So here we go! Sally here! This show is a collection of songs and stories about how the world ended and my life began. A paradox so bizarre I want to bust out laughing or break down crying whenever I think about it. Which is very often. Now that may seem like a mixed bag, but I think those two reactions are far closer to one another than I give them credit for. The two-sided-ness of life has been anything but subtle lately, so the heart of this show is centered around Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now." I want to invite you to celebrate and reflect on the absurd and unpredictable beauty of life as we hit the 2-year mark in the pandemic. Joyful, poignant, and hopeful. Folky, classic and theatrical. You may only know me from my 1-minute Playbill submission, but, boy oh boy, is there more to the story! I can't wait to meet you. Buckle up and let's have some fun.
In the midst of pursuing a BFA in Musical Theatre from Ithaca College, SALLY SHAW won Playbill’s 2022 Search for a Star with her 1-minute submission of “Stay” from Amélie. NYC credit: Sasha Velour’s Nightgowns: The Musical (Stagehand) at the Connelly Theatre. Regional credits: The Snow Queen (Greta - nominated for a 2019 S.A.L.T. award) at the Cherry Arts, and What Haunts You (Girl) with Clockmaker Arts at the Kitchen Theatre. And when she’s not onstage, you can catch her on the road making costumes or managing merch for Brooklyn’s grooviest band, Sammy Rae & the Friends.
