Plethora of Musicals

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

NYMF stands for New York Musical Theatre Festival. I don’t know what happened to the T so don’t ask. It’s really not important anyway. What is important is this: NYMF runs for three weeks only, and we’re in the last week!

The festival features over 30 new musicals throughout the midtown Theatre District. New playwrights present their works, chosen by leading industry people.

Tickets are on sale now. Plus there’s a closing party you may want to check out on October 7. So many choices, so little time.

BAM!

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Emeril Lagasse ain’t got nothin on Brooklyn. BAM is the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Brooklyn is in constant renaissance mode, from Red Hook to Billyburg (Williamsburg for all you non-nicknamers). BAM supports art, theatre, music, film, dance, and literature.

Show your support as well during the BAM 25th Next Wave Festival. The festival begins on October 2 and ends December 16.

Expect innovative performances and exhibits by up-and-coming artists. Some events are already sold out, so get your tickets early. Students are in luck–studen rush tickets are available.

Bookin It To Brooklyn

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

I’m all about Housing Works Bookstore and Cafe. In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been listing a lot of their events lately because I think that they’re an important and wonderful organization. Though they are in Manhattan, they are lending their support to the boroughs.

September 16 is the Brooklyn Book Festival. First off, you should know that you can get a bookmark that commemorates the festival at any branch of the Brooklyn Public Library System. For free. That’s why I listed it first–I love FREE stuff.

Secondly, about the festival. Housing Works is hosting George Saunders, Lynne Tillman, and Joshua Ferris. Additional writers include Ana Castillo, Pete Hamill, Katha Pollitt, Joe Meno, Jonathan Lethem (man, I LOVE me some Lethem), Phillip Lopate, and Kimiko Hahn.

This is just a smidgen of the talent. There are events all over Brooklyn at all different times between 10 AM and 6 PM. Brooklyn Borough Hall is the mainstage. Other venues include Borough Hall Plaza and Columbus Park.

Booksellers and publishers will be there as well. You can listen. You can buy. You can get free bookmarks.
