Irena’s Vow, starring four time Tony Award-nominee Tovah Feldshuh, will play its final Broadway performance on Sunday, June 28th, the producers announced today. The production will have played 21 previews and 105 regular performances.“Our play, which has truly become the ‘People’s Choice,’ has been moving audiences to laughter and tears at each and every performance. But unless business improves over the next two weeks, we will sadly be forced to close the production,” said producer Daryl Roth. She added, “We have recently been blessed by the attendance of Archbishop Timothy Dolan who, after seeing the play, has become an extremely vocal supporter of Irena’s Vow and is enthusiastically spreading the word.”
Cast members from the Tony, Grammy and Olivier Award winning hit musical Jersey Boys will perform on PBS-TV’s “A Capitol Fourth” independence day concert celebration on Saturday, July 4 from 8:00pm to 9:30pm ET (check local listings). Jimmy Smits will host “A Capitol Fourth,” will also feature Barry Manilow, Aretha Franklin, Natasha Bedingfield, Michael Feinstein, Andrew von Oeyen, the Muppets from “Sesame Street” and the National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Erich Kunzel. The concert will be broadcast live from the West Lawn of the US Capitol and the celebration concludes with the most spectacular fireworks display anywhere in the nation.
Naked Angels (Geoffrey Nauffts, Artistic Director; Brittany O’Neill, Managing Director) will hold their annual Summer Benefit Party on June 23rd, at the American Thread Building (260 West Broadway). Performers will include Scott Cohen, Kieran Culkin, Noah Emmerich, and Amy Ryan among others! The 2009 Summer Party will benefit the Naked Angels development program Tuesdays@9. This cold reading series was originated in 1991, and continues to run every Tuesday, from September through June. Tuesdays@9 invites writers to share a ten-page sample of their current project. The piece is cast on the spot and given a cold read in front of a live audience, allowing the playwright to hear the work in its rawest form. This resource serves over 200 writers each year and draws approximately 120 audience members and volunteer artists every week.
