3 Silent Film Evenings With Live Piano Scores By Composer Robert Bruce (7:30 pm - 9:30 pm)
Composer/pianist Robert Bruce performs his live original piano scores in 3 classic 1920s silent film programs.

He limits himself to working with films/programs (presently 9) he feels a strong artistic connection to, and that work “seamlessly” with his music.

- Thursday, May 17, 2012 – 7:30 pm - “It” (1927) starring Clara Bow

Souvenir: A Fantasia On The Life Of Florence Foster Jenkins (8:00 pm)
"Souvenir: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins"
"They may say I can't sing, but they can't say I didn't." ~ Florence Foster Jenkins
PRODUCER: 6th Street Playhouse presents
WHAT: "Souvenir: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins"
By Stephen Temperley
"Souvenir: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins" recounts the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a wealthy, tone deaf socialite who dreamed of being a great opera singer. Memories and experiences are recalled by her accompanist and friend, Cosmé McMoon in this poignant comedy that celebrates the spirit of a woman who defied criticism and followed her bliss.
Perhaps more famous now than when she pursued her dream, Florence Foster Jenkins efforts to become a great coloratura soprano led to fame and notoriety with annual private recitals at the Ritz Carlton Hotel; a sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall in 1944; and an impressive list of celebrity fans of her day including Cole Porter, Enrico Caruso and Tallulah Bankhead. Florence Foster Jenkins celebrity continues even today by enthusiastic fans who discover her story and her notorious vocal recordings on the Internet.
Featuring award-winning actress Mary Gannon Graham as Florence Foster Jenkins and John Shillington as accompanist, Cosmé McMoon - "Souvenir" takes audiences into Jenkins' world completely and even reveals the beautiful voice she believed to possess.

Xanadu (8:00 pm)
A young artist is trying to paint his enduring masterpiece (in chalk) on the boardwalk of Venice Beach and before you can say "roller disco!" his Muse appears in the form of Olivia Newton-John to guide him to full artistic satisfaction. Hey, it's the 80s, they did stuff like this then. Based on the legendary cult film with Newton-John and Gene Kelly, and packed with her chart-topping hits ("Magic," "I'm Alive," "Have You Never Been Mellow"), this is inspired lunacy at its most buoyant and hilarious.

Born Yesterday (8:00 pm)
WHO: Cinnabar Theater presents
WHAT: "Born Yesterday"
By Garson Kanin
Ex-show girl and mistress, Billie Dawn, gets a new lesson on life and love when her corrupt and uncouth junk czar boyfriend hires a newspaper reporter to tutor her in current events, grammar and gentility for mixing with political elite in Washington D.C. As relevant and funny today as when it made its 1946 Broadway debut, "Born Yesterday" still charms with its bittersweet comedy and sardonic look at Washington politics when newly educated Billie Dawn adopts a new view of herself and uncovers her boyfriend's political schemes.
Featuring award-winning film actress Heather Gordon as Billie Dawn; Gary Grossman as Harry Brock; and Paul Huberty as Paul Verrall.
Directed by Sheri Lee Miller
WHEN: May 25 to June 10, 2012
8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays

"Souvenir: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins" recounts the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a wealthy, tone deaf socialite who dreamed of being a great opera singer. Memories and experiences are recalled by her accompanist and friend, Cosmé McMoon in this poignant comedy that celebrates the spirit of a woman who defied criticism and followed her bliss.
Perhaps more famous now than when she pursued her dream, Florence Foster Jenkins efforts to become a great coloratura soprano led to fame and notoriety with annual private recitals at the Ritz Carlton Hotel; a sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall in 1944; and an impressive list of celebrity fans of her day including Cole Porter, Enrico Caruso and Tallulah Bankhead. Florence Foster Jenkins celebrity continues even today by enthusiastic fans who discover her story and her notorious vocal recordings on the Internet.
Featuring award-winning actress Mary Gannon Graham as Florence Foster Jenkins and John Shillington as accompanist, Cosmé McMoon - "Souvenir" takes audiences into Jenkins' world completely and even reveals the beautiful voice she believed to possess.

Born Yesterday (8:00 pm)
WHO: Cinnabar Theater presents
WHAT: "Born Yesterday"
By Garson Kanin
Ex-show girl and mistress, Billie Dawn, gets a new lesson on life and love when her corrupt and uncouth junk czar boyfriend hires a newspaper reporter to tutor her in current events, grammar and gentility for mixing with political elite in Washington D.C. As relevant and funny today as when it made its 1946 Broadway debut, "Born Yesterday" still charms with its bittersweet comedy and sardonic look at Washington politics when newly educated Billie Dawn adopts a new view of herself and uncovers her boyfriend's political schemes.
Featuring award-winning film actress Heather Gordon as Billie Dawn; Gary Grossman as Harry Brock; and Paul Huberty as Paul Verrall.
Directed by Sheri Lee Miller

Xanadu (8:00 pm)
A young artist is trying to paint his enduring masterpiece (in chalk) on the boardwalk of Venice Beach and before you can say "roller disco!" his Muse appears in the form of Olivia Newton-John to guide him to full artistic satisfaction. Hey, it's the 80s, they did stuff like this then. Based on the legendary cult film with Newton-John and Gene Kelly, and packed with her chart-topping hits ("Magic," "I'm Alive," "Have You Never Been Mellow"), this is inspired lunacy at its most buoyant and hilarious.

Don Reed's The Kipling Hotel: True Misadventures of the Electric Pink '80's
Reed's East 14th chronicled the 70's - and now it's his true misadventures through the 80's. As the awkward son of a pimp struggled through college, he tried being a stripper and a gigolo -- but he ended up serving breakfast at an unforgettable retirement hotel full of the elderly, drifters, drug addicted actors and… scrambled eggs.
