Fully Committed
Thursday, July 08, 2010 @ 7:30 PM: Millbrook Playhouse
Category: Theater
Shows on various dates between July 1-11 in the Caberet. This devastatingly funny one act follows a day in the life of Sam Peliczowski, an out-of-work actor who mans the red-hot reservation line at Manhattan's number-one restaurant. Coercion, threats, bribes, histrionics—a cast of desperate callers will stop at nothing in their zeal to land a prime reservation, or the right table. Amid the barrage, Sam's got his own needs to contend with—his recently widowed dad wants him home for Christmas, and he's up for a choice part at Lincoln Center. While juggling scheming socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities and egomaniacal bosses, can he manage to look out for himself? A wonderful acting challenge, FULLY COMMITTED has forty wildly diverse characters designed to be played by a single versatile performer.

Triumph Of Love
Thursday, July 08, 2010 @ 7:30 PM: Millbrook Playhouse
Category: Theater
Showing various days July 8-18. Love can make a woman do strange things. Like lie about her past. Or give up her career for the man she loves. Or throw off her princessly raiment and disguise herself as a young man in order to infiltrate the guarded "men-only" palace compound of an exiled prince she's admired from afar, who is secretly plotting to murder her and usurp her throne. Such is the state of things in James Magruder, Jeffrey Stock and Susan Birkenhead's hilarious, tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic adaptation of the classic Marivaux comedy "Triumph Of Love."

[Title of the Show]
Thursday, July 08, 2010 @ 8:30 PM: The State Theatre
Cost: $14 General Admission
Category: Mature Audience;Music;Theater
You're reading the official blurb, or short summary, of [title of show]. Blurb. That's a funny word. We spent a lot of time on this blurb so please read the whole blurb. [title of show] is a musical about two nobodies named Hunter and Jeff who decide to write a completely original musical starring themselves and their attractive and talented lady friends, Susan and Heidi. Their musical, [title of show], gets into the New York Musical Theatre Festival and becomes a hit. Then it gets an off-Broadway production at the Vineyard Theatre and wins three Obie Awards! Then (drum roll if you've got a drum) it's announced that their musical is going to Broadway (hooray!) and people start seeing this blurb everywhere! They read that The New York Times called [title of show] “DELECTABLE ENTERTAINMENT! A postmodern homage to the grand tradition of backstage musicals like Babes in Arms, Kiss Me, Kate and A Chorus Line." Fully intrigued, people snatch up tickets and help make Hunter and Jeff's life-long dream come true! The musical received a Tony Award® nomination for Best Book of a Musical in 2009. (Age restriction; 18 & over only)
