SUMMARY:Och & Oy!: A Considered Cabaret\, starring Alan Cumming and Ari Shapiro
DESCRIPTION:Alan Cumming (Cabaret\, The Good Wife) and Ari Shapiro (NPR’s All Things Considered\, Pink Martini) both transport audiences to other worlds through their stories. Now\, they’re joining forces in SONG. Witness the critically acclaimed evening of tunes and tall tales titled “Och & Oy! A Considered Cabaret”. Musical direction by Henry Koperski. \nIn a statement\, Cumming said\, “I’ve got to know Ari over the last few years\, both socially and when he interviewed me for a couple of events. The last time was an evening in D.C.\, and by the end of it I realized our chemistry and the unusual combo of us\, as well as the fact that Ari has an amazing voice\, would make for a really great cabaret show. And kapow! We’re doing it! What I love most is it’s fresh and ever-changing.” \nShapiro added\, “When Alan first suggested that we create a show together\, I didn’t quite believe him. Then as we started to dig in to this collaboration\, I realized how much our professional lives actually complement each other. We’re both storytellers who try to help audiences better understand themselves and the world around them. This show lets us explore those shared ideals on stage together\, through stories and songs.”

SUMMARY:CANDACE BUSHNELL True Tales of Sex\, Success and SEX AND THE CITY
DESCRIPTION:Candace Bushnell is the critically acclaimed\, international best-selling author of ten books\, including Is There Still Sex in the City\, Sex and the City\, Summer and the City\, The Carrie Diaries\, One Fifth Avenue\, Lipstick Jungle\, Trading Up\, Killing Monica and Four Blondes. Sex and the City\, published in 1996\, was the basis for the HBO hit series and two subsequent blockbuster movies. Lipstick Jungle became a popular television series on NBC\, as did The Carrie Diaries on the CW. Is There Still Sex in the City? is currently in development as a TV series with Paramount. Most recently\, Bushnell wrote and performs in her new one woman show\, Is There Still Sex in the City? \nFrom Sex and the City through ten successive novels\, Bushnell has revealed a gift for tapping into the zeitgeist of any New York minute. With each book\, she has deepened her range\, but with a light touch that makes her complex literary accomplishments look easy. The Guardian Newspaper sums up Bushnell’s work this way: “She caustically addresses the conditions of materialism\, cramped urban life\, and metropolitan speed\, where fame and wealth are all around\, but never in one’s grasp . . . . Bushnell is courageous in bringing this to the fore\, and she is blessed with an Austen-like mastery in doing so. She cuts through the lies that women tell themselves about the surface equality of Western society. As such\, she has much more in common with Edith Wharton\, Dorothy Parker and early Bret Easton Ellis.” \nBushnell (b. Dec. 1\, 1958) grew up in Glastonbury\, Ct\, and moved to New York City at age 19. She attended Rice University and New York University\, and began her professional career at 19 when she wrote a children’s book for Simon & Schuster. Throughout her twenties\, Bushnell developed her trademark style as a freelancer\, writing darkly humorous pieces about women\, relationships and dating for Mademoiselle\, Self Magazine\, and Esquire. \nIn 1990\, she wrote a column that would become a precursor for Sex and the City\, called The Human Cartoon\, a fictional serial published in Hamptons Magazine. \nShe began writing for the New York Observer in 1993; in November of 1994 she created the column Sex and the City\, which ran in the New York Observer for two years. The column was bought as a book in 1995\, and sold to HBO as a series in 1996. Bushnell hosted a radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio\, called Sex\, Success\, and Sensibility\, which aired from October 2006 to October 2008. She wrote and created a web series\, The Broadroom\, starring Jennie Garth\, which launched in September 2009. \nThrough her books and television series\, Bushnell’s work has influenced and defined two generations of women. She is the winner of the 2006 Matrix Award for books (other winners include Joan Didion and Amy Tan)\, and a recipient of the Albert Einstein Spirit of Achievement Award. She currently divides her time between New York City and Sag Harbor\, New York.

SUMMARY:Altar
DESCRIPTION:About the play: \nEugenio is a queer young immigrant living in St. John’s\, Newfoundland & Labrador. Since moving from Mexico less than a year ago\, he has experienced deep love and even deeper heartbreak when Benjamin\, his new boyfriend\, inexplicably “ghosts” him. Looking to the traditional Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos and his father’s previous experience with paranormal activities\, Eugenio decides to build an altar in the hopes that he will be able to summon his boyfriend’s ‘ghost’ and gain the closure he so desperately desires. Through the altar\, Eugenio realizes that he has been something of a ghost himself to those left behind in Mexico. Will setting up an altar be enough to heal these relationships or is there more to find out? \nAbout the creator: \nSantiago Guzmán (he/they) is an award-winning playwright\, dramaturge\, performer\, and director originally from Metepec\, Mexico\, now based in St. John’s\, NL.
