The Storefront (http://www.storefronttheatre.com) has announced plans for a third round of their critically-acclaimed and award-winning NEW MONDAYS series, featuring the works of composers both legendary and up-and-coming. Each Monday, three songwriters will gather to debut three or four of their new compositions in front of a live audience. Some of the composers will perform the material themselves, some will be accompanied by accomplished vocalists from the worlds of theatre and cabaret. The series will run Mondays, March 10th through April 21st at THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438 - http://www.theduplex.com/). There is a $12 cover, and a 2-drink minimum. All performances begin at 7:00 pm. Please note there will be no performances on April 14th.
