Joy Franz is the Madam of the "Court"

"The good of mentioning subjects such as are addressed in Mrs. Warren's Profession is that you make people so extremely uncomfortable that they finally stop blaming "human nature" for them, and begin to support measures for their reform." (George Bernard Shaw--1902, "The Author's Apology")

Director, Kathleen O'Neill, believes "Mrs. Warren is so rich in the language, where words become actions, that to me it is like watching the US Open, even better. Therefore, I am staging it in a tennis court style with the audience on both sides of the action in an intimate black box space at Manhattan Theatre Source, believing that this staging will engage the audience dynamically in terms of them seeing one another and all the action".

The dream of directing Mrs. Warren was realized for Ms. O'Neill when Joy Franz (Original Broadway productions of Pippin, Musical Chairs, Open Admissions and Into The Woods; Broadway revivals of Guys & Dolls and Into The Woods) was interested in incarnating the role of Mrs. Warren.

We invite you to reserve your "courtside seats" and enjoy the language and mischievousness of Mrs. Warren's Profession.

Performances begin April 1st and continue through Saturday, April 18th. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.BOO-Arts.com

Intoxicated Love

Tanya and Annie are in Love and experiencing it in all its splendor and all its pain--the raw, helpless, emotions of people under the influence.

Tanya: "I like to be good to my woman, I like to make her laugh, and I like it when her back arcs when I put my fingers in. I like to lie with her and smoke and talk and get high and to cuddle up and make plans. I know how to love."

These derailed youth are propelled by their passion and belief in each other, clouding their judgement of reality in The Production Company's upcoming production of Australian playwright, Patricia Corneilius', Love.

Annie: "You are so gorgeous Tanya. Nothing’s going to change. Believe me. I love you. Nothing’s going come between us. Nothing could. "

LOVE will play a limited engagement at Center Stage, NY (48 W. 21st Street, 4th Floor, NYC). Performances begin Friday, March 20 and continue until Sunday, April 12. Buy tickets online!

Crazy Head Space is a manic rock musical which celebrates the dizzying kaleidoscope of mental and emotional disorders from Ambien to Zoloft.

"We have run the gamut A-Z
We have our darker moments
But we are worthy
And we found meaning underneath the pain and strife
And we are able to take the piss out of life
And what it really all comes down to and the moral of the score:
We are worth fighting for!"

Starring Carl Anthony-Tramon, who will next be seen on Broadway in Rocket Boys and Jennifer Agnelli from the National Tour of Man of La Mancha.

Now a piece of good news...for the Arts and print media!

New York Sun's arts section to rise again
From Crains New York Business, 2/28/09

The New York Sun may not be rising again, but its arts coverage is about to have a resurrection of sorts. Manhattan Media, publisher of weekly freebies New York Press, West Side Spirit and Our Town, is launching monthly supplement City Arts, which will feature former arts critics and writers from the Sun. The alumni include Lance Esplund, Brice Brown, Jay Nordlinger, Joel Lobenthal and Marion Maneker. The 24-page publication will debut March 12. Manhattan Media has also hired two sales executives who specialized in arts advertising at the Sun. The six year old five-day-a-week broadsheet folded in September. Though it never turned a profit, it was prized for its arts coverage and carried ads from galleries and museums. City Arts will have a print run of 65,000 copies.
