THE STOREFRONT presents NEWER SUNDAYS HERE
Sundays in January
at 5:00 pm featuring the music of new and established songwriters
and composers.
The Storefront's (http://www.storefronttheatre.com/)
new NEWER SUNDAYS series, featuring new and established songwriters
and composers, kicks off on Sunday, January 8th at THE DUPLEX CABARET
THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438 - http://www.theduplex.com/),
featuring the marvelous Mark Hartman, with music from his up-coming
musical projects. On January 19th, The Storefront is pleased to welcome
Laurence O'Keefe, the noted author of "Bat Boy" and "Sarah, Plain
and Tall." To close the first round of the series, Georgia Stitt,
noted composer and musical director, will present an evening of her
music with celebrated guest performers on January 26th. All performances
are at 5:00 pm, and there is a $12 cover and 2-drink minimum.
In June of 2001, The Storefront
Theatre launched a series called NEW MONDAYS. The idea was simple
- invite both up-and-coming, as well as prominently established musical
legends to debut some of their new compositions in front of a live
audience. What followed was five months of sold out shows, featuring
fifty-seven composers premiering new work. Participants in the first
rounds of NEW MONDAYS include Henry Krieger, Tom Jones, Charles Strouse,
Carol Hall, William Finn, Frank Wildhorn, Julie Gold, Dick Scanlan,
David Friedman, Michael John LaChiusa, Jason Robert Brown, John Wallowitch,
Stephen Schwartz, John Bucchino and Andrew Lippa, as well as many
noted newer composers.
Following the success
of New Mondays, The Storefront was looking for a way to more prominently
feature the work of some of the composers with whom they had worked.
Hence: NEWER SUNDAYS... The idea is that folks who have already been
through the NEW MONDAYS series will be invited to feature their work
in a one-hour format.
Most recently, NEW MONDAYS
has been awarded the NIGHTLIFE AWARD, an awards program that salutes
the best in jazz, cabaret and comedy. An illustrious panel comprising
the most influential critics from the New York press chooses the award
recipients. The Nightlife Awards will be presented on Monday, January
27th at Town Hall.
