This concert will be all about celebrating that part of me that wanted his very own teenage Dream all those years ago and what I’ve learned 10 years later since coming out of the closet.” The night will include hits by Katy Perry, Carly Rae Jepsen, Taylor Swift, Kim Petras, ABBA, Demi Lovato and others.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10

JENNIFER DIAMOND 
“Let Me Be Me”

  7:00pm / Tickets begin at $29

How do you solve a problem like Jennifer Diamond? That’s been a recurring theme as she’s navigated a career in musical theatre. Always “a little too much of” one thing and “not enough of” another, she’s never been able to find a place to plant herself and be exactly enough. Throwing caution to the wind and freeing herself from a room at Pearl, “Let Me Be Me” unleashes the authentic Jennifer as she traverses roles she has played, should play and could play — with special guests and a full band — if only they would just let her be her. Originally intended for March of 2020, the pandemic and a new child added their own curveballs and chaos to explore. “Let Me Be Me” is written by Jennifer Diamond and Robbie Rozelle. It is directed by BroadwayWorld Award-winning director Robbie Rozelle and features musical direction and arrangements by Luke Williams. Featuring Mauricio Martínez and more. The evening is produced by Evan Sacks.

She won a Grammy and was nominated for a Tony Award for starring on Broadway in Hadestown.

She previously starred in Hadestown at the National Theatre in London after being a lead in the West End revivals of Miss Saigon and Les Miserables. Noblezada was a high school student when she was discovered by casting director Tara Rubin at the 2013 Jimmy Awards in NYC.

HEADSHOTS AVAILABLE HERE

New York, NY (December 7, 2021) – Jacob Stuckelman and Joseph Hayes announced today the complete casting for the industry reading of Fowl Play – A New Musical Comedy. Alongside previously announced star Rosé (“RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 13 Finalist), the cast of Fowl Play will feature Michael James Scott (Aladdin), Tony Award nominee Brenda Braxton (“The Good Fight”), Nick Adams (Fire Island), JJ Niemann (The Book of Mormon), Sav Souza (1776), Kate Loprest (“Boardwalk Empire”), Chris Medlin (“Sweet Magnolias”), Maya Lagerstam, and Murphy Taylor Smith.

With direction by Tony Award and three-time Emmy Award nominee John Tartaglia, book by Billy Recce (Little Black Book concept album) and Yoni Weiss, and music/lyrics by Billy Recce, the industry reading of Fowl Play will be held Thursday, December 16 at Carroll Studios (625 West 55th Street). Music Supervision by Jon Audric Nelson. The reading will be stage managed by Kaleigh Bernier.

Fowl Play is a new musical comedy about two queer musical theatre writers who are commissioned to write an apology musical for a certain homophobic fried chicken corporation...you know which one. With theaters closing left and right to be replaced by Targets, Apple Stores, and fast-food franchises, the down-on-their-luck writing duo, Archie and Xander, are faced with the promise of a major payout and the rebirth of the Broadway musical comedy, if they can satiate the new CEO, Kimberly Chickadee, played by “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Rosé. In the style of a Mickey and Judy musical extravaganza, Fowl Play is a take-no-prisoners satire about the commodification and commercialization of queer culture.

Fowl Play is produced by Jacob Stuckelman and Joseph Hayes, and general managed by Fourth Wall Theatricals. Casting is by Joseph Hayes.

For more information, please email rsvp@fwtheatricals.com.

CAST BIOGRAPHIES

ROSÉ (Kimberly Chickadee) is one of the most noteworthy and distinguished drag performers to emerge from New York City nightlife in recent years. After a wildly successful run as a finalist on Season 13 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”, she has continued time and time again to prove that her dense and lifelong training as a competitive performer have led her to being one of the most professional and well-rounded queens ever to come out of the “Drag Race” franchise. A decorated actor and singer/songwriter, Rosé is also one third of the internationally-acclaimed drag pop girl group, Stephanie’s Child, who have appeared on both “America’s Got Talent” and NBC’s “The Voice” alongside pop artist, Jessie J. Rosé is originally and proudly from Scotland, but resides now in New York City with her cat, Julius. That last part was a lie — she is allergic to cat dander and absolutely refuses to be anywhere near Julius. She did have a fish once tho but it died :/

One fateful Christmas Eve, Ted, a timid, middle-aged accountant with persistent bad luck is in the middle of a nasty divorce. Hopeless and depressed, he is about to take the elevator to the roof to “end it all.” His efforts are suddenly interrupted by a tenant who lives down the hall–Natasha, a statuesque Drag Queen dressed in the ultimate Christmas-Queen pageant outfit. She barges into the elevator on her way to the main floor lobby, but when the elevator abruptly gets stuck, both Ted’s plan and Natasha’s dream of competing for the title of “Christmas Queen” are held in the balance. The stakes are as high as her holiday-themed headdress. This unlikely duo is forced to work together to escape, ultimately learning that life is all about embracing the ups and the downs…with bells on.

This festive show has a book by Tommy Newman & Devanand Janki, Music & Lyrics by Tommy Newman (Band Geeks, ASCAP Award Winner). Based on the play With Bells On! by Darrin Hagen. Directed by Devanand Janki (Lucille Lortel Award Winner, Zanna, Don’t!, Little Girl Blue - The Nina Simone Musical), with musical direction by Ricky Romano.

THEATRE’S FIRST NFT- THIRD ACT W/ BRIAN STOKES MITCHELL & “CROSSOVERS LIVE”

THIRD ACT, the first-of-its-kind NFT marketplace for the theatre community, launches a new collection of NFTs in collaboration with BRIAN STOKES MITCHELL and his talk show “CROSSOVERS LIVE!”

THEATRE’S FIRST NFT

THIRD ACT

LAUNCHES NEW NFT COLLECTION

WITH

BRIAN STOKES MITCHELL

AND

“CROSSOVERS LIVE!”

PRESS IMAGES AVAILABLE HERE

New York, NY (November 30, 2021) – Third Act, the first-of-its-kind NFT (Non-fungible token) marketplace for the theatre community, has launched a new collection of NFTs in collaboration with two-time Tony Award winner and Grammy Award nominee Brian Stokes Mitchell and his live streaming talk show “Crossovers Live!”. Built by Tony Award-nominated producers, Eric Neal and Jesse Hornstein, Third Act introduced an NFT marketplace specifically for theatre and was a first for the theatre industry. The company’s initial collection, released in June of 2021, featured digital collectibles from the Stellar Original production, Herding Cats.

Third Act has marked yet another first for the industry, with the release of its new collection in collaboration with Brian Stokes Mitchell. Chairman of The Actors Fund since 2014, Mitchell has enjoyed a long and fruitful career both on stage and screen, and now NFTs. With this release, Mitchell becomes the first Broadway actor to digitize his likeness in the form of an NFT. This collaboration was commissioned by production company Atomic Focus Entertainment, which partnered with Third Act’s in-house NFT studio to produce the collection.

The digital collectibles will be released in conjunction with Mitchell’s interviews on “Crossovers Live!” with Broadway icons like Kristin Chenoweth, Bernadette Peters, Marc Shaiman, and more. “Crossovers Live!” is an intimate talk show streamed live and produced by Stellar Originals and Atomic Focus featuring actors who, like Mitchell, have made the jump from stage to screen. In addition to the Mitchell NFTs, a unique NFT collection for “Crossovers Live!” was produced by Third Act and is being used as digital keepsakes and to incentivize ticket buyers.

The Third Act platform boasts an incredibly simple and easy-to-use crypto experience. The marketplace lists all of its available assets in USD and users can purchase NFTs directly with a credit card, meaning transactions can be made easily on one of the most eco-friendly platforms available today: Hedera Hashgraph. Using Hedera, Third Act’s carbon emissions are a fraction of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even Visa transactions. And a portion of each and every sale goes directly back to productions, personalities, and IP owners.

“Every producer should be looking at how they’re integrating NFTs with their next show. They’re a great way for fans to hold onto their favorite theatre moments, provide recurring revenue, and become a new vehicle for the story to continue.” says Eric Neal, co-founder of Third Act. “We made it super simple for producers to create and release NFTs.”

Third Act is in the first cohort of companies receiving support from the HBAR Foundation, a grant giving entity that was recently launched and plans to distribute upwards of $2.5 billion to projects building in the Hedera ecosystem.

Hedera and Third Act are some of the first companies that are taking advantage of USDC, a stable coin pegged to a fiat currency (USD). With the recent introduction of USDC to the Hedera network, companies like Third Act will receive a boost from the integration of the stablecoin. Third Act currently accepts fiat currency, with USDC integration in the near future.

“Third Act is the first platform of its kind specializing in theatre NFTs. The HBAR Foundation is proud to fund innovative projects that develop new use cases and reach new audiences, and Third Act does exactly this,” said Shayne Higdon, Executive Director & CEO at the HBAR Foundation. “Additionally, Third Act is a very accessible application, presenting new technology in a way that is approachable to the everyday user and encouraging mass adoption of the Hedera network.”

The decentralized Hedera network offers stable governance with no forking, low and predictable transaction fees, fairness, built-in compliance, real-time settlement, and sustainable energy consumption - all of which are driving massive adoption of the platform. Hedera is the most used, sustainable, enterprise-grade public network for the decentralized economy. The platform is governed by a council of the world’s leading organizations, including Avery Dennison, Boeing, Chainlink Labs, Google, IBM, and more. Hbar, the native cryptocurrency of the Hedera network, is used to protect the network through proof-of-stake and power decentralized applications.

Third Act is a first-of-its-kind marketplace for theatre NFTs. Third Act hosts the next generation of fan merchandise. As both a marketplace and a service, Third Act is an end-to-end solution for productions looking to engage fans and extend the recoupment window for live theatre productions.

ABOUT THE HBAR FOUNDATION 

Founded in 2021, the HBAR Foundation fuels the development of the Hedera ecosystem by providing grants and other resources to developers, startups and organizations that seek to launch decentralized applications in DeFi, NFTs, CBDCs, ESGs, gaming and other sectors.

ELIZABETH DAVIS: THE APPLE TREE
A concept album for child(less) play

9:30pm / Tickets begin at $29

Elizabeth A. Davis will next be seen in the ART / Roundabout Broadway revival of 1776. Until then, Elizabeth will layer her passionate folk-rock sound with a compulsion for writing stories about complicated women. The Apple Tree is a 10-song collection of songs Elizabeth has written inspired by the trajectory of her forthcoming play, child(less). Thematically tight but genre-exploratory, The Apple Tree album mixes pop sensibilities with a love for the theatrical. Come to laugh & come to cry.  

This is a concept album that inspired, and was inspired by, my play, child(less). The album & the play stand alone. They also wholly belong to each other. The first song came at Goodspeed Opera House after hanging up with Seneca. I wrote out her pain until it became my own on an old piano around dinner time. The rest of the story tumbled out in messy clumps. Then the songs came closely entwined, like clinging roots to their mother plant. My hope is the specificity of the play’s narrative will somehow do that intuitive thing; where the story in the songs and the play become universal and mean something new to you that I couldn't have foreseen. These songs are for the characters that inspired them. They are also for Josiah, for Seneca, for Jordan, for Mam, Daddy and brother, for people not born yet and about things I know nothing of. They are far outside of me but each has been brought close to teach a new lesson in grace. These songs are for you.

“FOWL PLAY
A NEW MUSICAL COMEDY”

MUSIC & LYRICS BY BILLY RECCE
BOOK BY BILLY RECCE AND YONI WEISS

INDUSTRY READING TO BE HELD
DECEMBER 16 AT CARROLL STUDIOS

HEADSHOTS AVAILABLE HERE

New York, NY (November 24, 2021) – Jacob Stuckelman and Joseph Hayes announced today that “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 13 Finalist Rosé will star in Fowl Play – A New Musical Comedy directed by Tony Award and three-time Emmy Award nominee John Tartaglia. With book by Billy Recce (Little Black Book concept album) and Yoni Weiss and music/lyrics by Billy Recce, Fowl Play will receive an industry reading on Thursday, December 16 at Carroll Studios (625 West 55th Street).

Fowl Play is a new musical comedy about two queer musical theatre writers who are commissioned to write an apology musical for a certain homophobic fried chicken corporation...you know which one. With theaters closing left and right to be replaced by Targets, Apple Stores, and fast-food franchises, the down-on-their-luck writing duo, Archie and Xander, are faced with the promise of a major payout and the rebirth of the Broadway musical comedy, if they can satiate the new CEO, Kimberly Chickadee, played by “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Rosé. In the style of a Mickey and Judy musical extravaganza, Fowl Play is a take-no-prisoners satire about the commodification and commercialization of queer culture.

"I’m so excited to be working with this wonderful team to help bring Fowl Play to life, not to mention working with the amazingly talented Rosé! Much like the early days of Avenue Q, it’s been thrilling to be collaborating with these amazing artists creating something hilariously irreverent, naughty, and full of heart and humanity," said director John Tartaglia.

Fowl Play is produced by Jacob Stuckelman and Joseph Hayes, and general managed by Fourth Wall Theatricals.

Additional casting will be announced shortly. For more information, please email rsvp@fwtheatricals.com.

THE FIRST NEW MUSICAL TO PREMIERE IN NYC SINCE THE SHUTDOWN BEGAN  

“A COMMERCIAL JINGLE FOR REGINA COMET”

TO PRESENT ASL INTERPRETED PERFORMANCE THIS SATURDAY MATINEE

FINAL PERFORMANCE THIS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21
AT THE DR2 THEATRE

PRODUCTION PHOTOS AVAILABLE HERE

New York, NY (November 18, 2021) – A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet, the first new musical to premiere in New York since the pandemic began, will present an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreted performance this Saturday, November 20th at 3:00pm at the DR2 Theatre (103 East 15th Street), in partnership with Broadway SIGNs! (ASL Interpreters Gabriel Silva and Alberto Medero; Director of Artistic Sign Language (DASL) Dickie Hearts).

The production has been playing to sold out audiences and critical acclaim since beginning performances recently extended due to popular demand with its final performance set for this Sunday, November 21st at 7:00pm.

It was recently announced that the Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording of the new musical will be released by Time–Life Records in early 2022. With every ticket purchased through Telecharge.com between now and November 21, fans will be emailed a code for a free advance digital download of one of the songs from the upcoming album (purchaser must opt-in to be contacted via email).

A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet features book, music, and lyrics by Alex Wyse (Indoor Boys) and Ben Fankhauser (Newsies), with direction by Marshall Pailet (Baghdaddy, Triassic Parq) and stars Wyse, Fankhauser and Bryonha Marie Parham (Prince of Broadway).

The Asbury Park Press describes the show as "A MUCH-NEEDED ESCAPE! Forget about the world and laugh.” while Theatrely said it was the "[TITLE OF SHOW] FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. It will feed your theatre-loving soul in all the right ways!" and The New York Times called it a “Pancake.”

Two nobodies dream of writing one hit song for everybody, but their day job composing jingles for commercials isn't the big break they hoped. That is, until they're plucked from obscurity by a world-famous pop star named Regina Comet (if destiny had a child, it would be her) and she wants them to create an anthem for her supernova pipes... and her new perfume. They're so close to the big-time they can smell it, but following your passion doesn't always lead where you expect. Making a hit song can be a shit-show.

The creative team for A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet includes Alex Wyse and Ben Fankhauser (Book/Music/Lyrics), Marshall Pailet (Direction), Drama Desk Award winner Stephanie Klemons (Choreography), Lucille Lortel Award nominee Wilson Chin (Scenic Design), Antonyo Award winner Sarita Fellows (Costume Design), Aja M. Jackson (Lighting Design), Twi McCallum (Sound Design), Alex Goldie Golden (Music Director), and Hannah Woodward (Production Stage Manager).

A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet is produced by Cody Lassen, joined by Kate Cannova, Fever, Sue Gilad & Larry Rogowsky, Chaz Naor, Jamie deRoy/Luigi Caiola, Samantha Squeri, David Lipowicz, Brad Blume, Jo-Ann Dean, Wayne H. Holland, III, Jamie Joeyen-Waldorf, Robert Laurita, Benny Lumpkins Jr., Philip Makara, and Raindrop Valley.

ASL Interpreted Performance Sponsored by Honorable Susan B. Lyons, Esq.

Tickets, starting at $59, can be purchased by visiting the DR2 Theatre box office (Tuesday – Sunday, 12pm - curtain), online at www.Telecharge.com, or by calling 800-447-7400.

ORIGINAL OFF-BROADWAY CAST RECORDING OF
“A COMMERCIAL JINGLE FOR REGINA COMET”
TO BE RELEASED IN EARLY 2022

BY TIME-LIFE RECORDS

ENTERS FINAL WEEK OF OFF-BROADWAY PERFORMANCES
AT THE DR2 THEATRE

PRODUCTION PHOTOS AVAILABLE HERE

New York, NY (November 15, 2021) – A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet, the first new musical to premiere in New York since the pandemic began, announced today that the Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording of the new musical will be released by Time–Life Records in early 2022. With every ticket purchased through Telecharge.com between now and November 21, fans will be emailed a code for a free advance digital download of one of the songs from the upcoming album (purchaser must opt-in to be contacted via email.) The hit musical enters its final week of off-Broadway performances at the DR2 Theatre (103 East 15th Street), having recently extended through Sunday, November 21st.

The album, which will be recorded later this month, is available for pre-orders beginning December 1st at reginacomet.com, and will be released in early 2022, available wherever music is streamed or sold.

“The album shall be a bop, and there shall be no skips,” said creators Alex Wyse and Ben Fankhauser.

A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet features book, music, and lyrics by Alex Wyse (Indoor Boys) and Ben Fankhauser (Newsies), with direction by Marshall Pailet (Baghdaddy, Triassic Parq) and stars Wyse, Fankhauser and Bryonha Marie Parham (Prince of Broadway).

The Asbury Park Press describes the show as "A MUCH-NEEDED ESCAPE! Forget about the world and laugh.” while Theatrely said it was the "[TITLE OF SHOW] FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. It will feed your theatre-loving soul in all the right ways!" and The New York Times called it a “Pancake.”

Two nobodies dream of writing one hit song for everybody, but their day job composing jingles for commercials isn't the big break they hoped. That is, until they're plucked from obscurity by a world-famous pop star named Regina Comet (if destiny had a child, it would be her) and she wants them to create an anthem for her supernova pipes... and her new perfume. They're so close to the big-time they can smell it, but following your passion doesn't always lead where you expect. Making a hit song can be a shit-show.

The original Off-Broadway cast album is produced by Rob Sher and Cody Lassen with executive producers Huck Walton and Brian Gillet of InOvation Multimedia.

The creative team for A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet includes Alex Wyse and Ben Fankhauser (Book/Music/Lyrics), Marshall Pailet (Direction), Drama Desk Award winner Stephanie Klemons (Choreography), Lucille Lortel Award nominee Wilson Chin (Scenic Design), Antonyo Award winner Sarita Fellows (Costume Design), Aja M. Jackson (Lighting Design), Twi McCallum (Sound Design), Alex Goldie Golden (Music Director), and Hannah Woodward (Production Stage Manager).

A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet is produced by Cody Lassen, joined by Kate Cannova, Fever, Sue Gilad & Larry Rogowsky, Chaz Naor, Jamie deRoy/Luigi Caiola, Samantha Squeri, David Lipowicz, Brad Blume, Jo-Ann Dean, Wayne H. Holland, III, Jamie Joeyen-Waldorf, Robert Laurita, Benny Lumpkins Jr., Philip Makara, and Raindrop Valley.

To take a whack at these Gordian knots, the evening will feature original music as well as covers of artists ranging from Bonnie Tyler to ANOHNI, under the musical direction of Daphne’s pianist and Long Island pal, James Sheppard. Come out to feel the unique electricity, warmth, and intrigue of occupying a seat at a Daphne Always show! Cast: Starring Daphne Always, Music Direction and Piano by James Sheppard.

After months away from the stage, Ayla Schwartz returns to The Green Room 42 for an evening of truths.

From the Village revolution of the ‘60s to her deathbed in the ‘90s (and through a collection of iconic tunes from the American folk songbook), we unravel the fascinating mystery of Karen Dalton.

“We had our original reading on March 12, 2020, in what was possibly one of the last pieces of live theater performed before the shutdown. I am so excited to be bringing this back, this time with beloved New York performer Erin Markey leading us as Karen,” said producer Megan Doyle. Creston Whittington continued “Karen Dalton is having a resurgence of sorts, with a critically acclaimed documentary on her life having just been released. Our hope is that this play will help solidify her legacy for a new generation.”

Karen Dalton is produced by Megan Doyle and Creston Whittington, and general managed by Fourth Wall Theatricals.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

It began as an artist’s desperate desire to express himself inside a worldwide pandemic, but in one year’s time it has grown into a theater industry and country-wide outlet for healing, grief, justice, and hope in the theater community. 

The Covid-19 pandemic revealed what a world without live performance looks and feels like. This book captures a small fraction of the powerful and transcendent internal heartbeat that never went away within the theater community. When The Lights Are Bright Again immortalizes the stories, struggles, and successes of an industry that was the first to be shut down and one of the last to return. 

Andrew Norlen weaves more than 200 letters from Broadway theater veterans, devout theatergoers, teenage dreamers aching for their day in the spotlight, long-time ushers, designers, creatives, and countless other arts workers with a brand-new, breathtaking photo series by Broadway photographer Matthew Murphy. 

Not only has the creation of this book allowed the theater community to grieve and express themselves in a new way, but for every copy purchased, a portion of the profits will directly benefit The Actors Fund. This book will continue to help support arts workers to thrive and maintain financial stability for decades to come with every copy sold. 

When The Lights Are Bright Again is a love letter to the arts community and every theatergoer, but, above all else, it is a meditation on the human experience. There is something for every broken, tired, angry, and lost soul inside this book: hope.

There is light in all of us—there always has been!

“A COMMERCIAL JINGLE FOR REGINA COMET” EXTENDS DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND

Due to popular demand, “A COMMERCIAL JINGLE FOR REGINA COMET” extends through November 21, 2021 at off-Broadway’s DR2 Theatre.

Press Contact:

michael@jorgensenpr.com

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE

 THE FIRST NEW MUSICAL TO PREMIERE IN NYC SINCE THE SHUTDOWN BEGA

“A COMMERCIAL JINGLE FOR REGINA COMET”

EXTENDS OFF-BROADWAY
DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND

NOW PLAYING THROUGH NOVEMBER 21
AT THE DR2 THEATRE

PRODUCTION PHOTOS AVAILABLE HERE

New York, NY (October 18, 2021) – Due to popular demand, the producers of A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet announced today that they are extending the run of the world premiere musical by a week – or 7/8ths of a Hannukah – and it will now play its final performance on Sunday, November 21st at 7:00 pm at the DR2 Theatre (103 East 15th Street).  

The production has been playing to sold out audiences and critical acclaim since beginning performances on September 17th and is the first new musical to premiere in New York since the pandemic began. A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet features book, music, and lyrics by Alex Wyse (Indoor Boys) and Ben Fankhauser (Newsies), with direction by Marshall Pailet (Baghdaddy, Triassic Parq) and stars Wyse, Fankhauser and Bryonha Marie Parham (Prince of Broadway.)

The Asbury Park Press describes the show as "A MUCH-NEEDED ESCAPE! Forget about the world and laugh.” while Thearerly said it was the "[TITLE OF SHOW] FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. It will feed your theatre-loving soul in all the right ways!" and The New York Times called it a “Pancake.”

Two nobodies dream of writing one hit song for everybody, but their day job composing jingles for commercials isn't the big break they hoped. That is, until they're plucked from obscurity by a world-famous pop star named Regina Comet (if destiny had a child, it would be her) and she wants them to create an anthem for her supernova pipes... and her new perfume. They're so close to the big-time they can smell it, but following your passion doesn't always lead where you expect. Making a hit song can be a shit-show.

“It really speaks volumes to the team’s talent and hard work that we have, in a tiny downtown theatre, like the little engine that could, been able to open amongst the behemoths on Broadway and still pack the seats and play to standing ovations every night.” said Producer Cody Lassen. “It’s encouraging to see audiences in NYC coming back to the theatre and their hunger for new musicals and to hear them laugh and applaud eight times a week. What New Yorkers want right now is a fun night out they are finding that with our show.”

The creative team for A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet includes Alex Wyse and Ben Fankhauser (Book/Music/Lyrics), Marshall Pailet (Direction), Drama Desk Award winner Stephanie Klemons (Choreography), Lucille Lortel Award nominee Wilson Chin (Scenic Design), Antonyo Award winner Sarita Fellows (Costume Design), Aja M. Jackson (Lighting Design), Twi McCallum (Sound Design), Alex Goldie Golden (Music Director), and Hannah Woodward (Production Stage Manager).

A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet is produced by Cody Lassen, joined by Kate Cannova, Fever, Sue Gilad & Larry Rogowsky, Chaz Naor, Jamie deRoy/Luigi Caiola, Samantha Squeri, David Lipowicz, Brad Blume, Jo-Ann Dean, Wayne H. Holland, III, Jamie Joeyen-Waldorf, Robert Laurita, Benny Lumpkins Jr., Philip Makara, and Raindrop Valley.

Tickets, starting at $59, can be purchased by visiting the DR2 Theatre box office (Tuesday – Sunday, 12pm - curtain), online at www.Telecharge.com, or by calling 800-447-7400. Running time is 80 minutes (half a Wicked), and plays the following schedule: Tuesdays at 7pm; Wednesdays at 7pm; Thursdays at 8pm; Fridays at 8pm; Saturdays at 3pm & 8pm; and Sundays at 3pm & 7pm.

A FIRST LOOK AT
WORLD PREMIERE SITE-SPECIFIC PRODUCTION

“BACK & FORTH”

IN CENTRAL PARK’S EAST MEADOW

FEATURING TWO ACTORS AND A GAME OF CATCH

AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD HERE 

PERFORMANCES BEGIN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7
OPENING NIGHT SET FOR SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10

New York, NY (October 5, 2021) – Super Secret Arts released today a first look at production photos for the world premiere site-specific production Back & Forth, available for download here.

A new play written by Richard Hollman, Back & Forth will be performed in Central Park’s East Meadow, hidden among your everyday park-goes. Featuring two actors, two gloves, a baseball, and an audience equipped with headphones to observe and eavesdrop at their leisure, Back & Forth will play its game of catch over three weekends this fall, beginning this Thursday, October 7, with an official Opening Night on Sunday, October 10.

It’s just a conversation until you catch on. Back & Forth is the story of two old friends reuniting for the first time since a forced period of extended social isolation (yes, that period of social isolation) and discovering that despite having felt basically immobile for the past 18 months, quite a lot has changed.

Audience members will receive an email 24 hours before their performance telling them where to enter the park and how to recognize the house manager, who will advise them on how to tune in to the show and where they may want to sit, though ultimately the audience will decide how they want to observe this particular game of catch.

Directed by Katie Young, the cast of Back & Forth features Richard Hollman and Chris Roberti. The Production Stage Manager is Helen Thornton.

The show will play the following schedule: Thursday, October 7 – Sunday, October 10, at 5:30pm; Thursday, October 14 – Sunday, October 17, at 5:30pm; and Thursday, October 21 – Sunday, October 24 at 5:00pm.
