NEW YORK – The Storefront has announced plans for a second round of
their acclaimed NEW MONDAYS series, a songwriter’s showcase featuring
the works of both established and up-and-coming composers. Each
Monday, three composers will gather to debut three or four of their
new compositions in front of a supportive 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, October 7th through November
25th at The Duplex (61 Christopher St). There is a $12 cover, and a
two-drink minimum. All performances begin at 7pm. For reservations,
please call 212.255.5438. The press is invited to all presentations.
For press reservations, please call 212.989.3015.
The Storefront was founded in late 1999. To date, the company has
presented a multitude of productions, each earning critical praise
and near capacity crowds. Most recently, the young company debuted a
new version of the Charles Strouse/Stephen Schwartz/Joe Stein
musical, Rags, starring Anne Runolffson and Leslie Kritzer. Past
productions include revues of the music of Stephen Schwartz, John
Bucchino and Brett Kristofferson, as well as the smash hit and MAC
Award-winning 70’s revue, Gashole: The Wit and Wisdom of the 70’s.
The last round of NEW MONDAYS took place in June and July, and
featured work by twenty one composers, among them Jason Robert Brown,
John Bucchino, David Friedman, Michael John LaChiusa, Andrew Lippa
and Stephen Schwartz.
