RETURN TO LALA LAND
Directed by Joe Battista Produced by Roslyn McKay Stage Manager: Allison Hohman Starring: La Forrest Cope (Lala), Freddie Duggard, Chris Fougere Return to Lala Land is the creative nonfiction tale of a highly successful musician/songwriter/performer struggling to tear down borders and construct boundaries between her present day artistry and a golden past that threatens to crush her under its glittery weight. Burning up the Billboard Charts with four top-five songs in two years, Lala's explosive songwriting talent helped launch several careers, most notably, Whitney Houston's. The fiery "YOU GIVE GOOD LOVE" earned LaForrest Cope (a.k.a. LaLa), a Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Song and an ASCAP Honors Award for Most Played Songs in the 1985 Survey Year (an award she shared with Prince), while giving Whitney her first #1 single. Lala toured as a backup singer and keyboard player on Michael Jackson’s Victory Tour. She has played, sang, written for and/or produced artists as diverse as Ice Cube, Lauryn Hill, Christina Aguilera, Luther Vandross Melba Moore, Freddie Jackson, Stephanie Mills, Johnny Gill and Burt Bacharach.

Midcity Productions Presents
The Seafarer by Conor McPherson McPherson’s The Seafarer, originally produced at The Royal National Theatre in Great Britain, tells the story of Sharky, a down-on-his-luck (and his own fault for it) chauffeur and his recently blind bother, Richard, as they prepare for Christmas festivities in their small home in Baldoyle, Ireland. After a night of heavy drinking, Richard and his friend Ivan, are slowly bringing themselves back around to humanity as Sharky tries to get the house ready for the upcoming holiday. But it’s not until Nicky Giblin, a friend of Richard’s but not so much of Sharky’s, drops by with a stranger bearing a sinister familiarity with Sharky, and a game of cards is suggested, does the real story unfold. As the game progresses, it’s not his money that Sharky is playing with, but his soul. This production is being directed by MidCity company member James Rees. James has been working and directing in New York for seven years. Among his acting credits are Measure for Measure (Shakespeare in the Park) and The Killer (Theatre for a New Audience). He’s also been featured on Orange is the New Black, Gotham, Bull, and Mr. Robot. In addition to his directing and acting, James is also an audition coach for actors around the city. When asked about the show, Rees simply stated, “At its core, [it] is a show about hope.” A show like The Seafarer has a level of comfort and “the more comforted we are by it, the more of a detriment it becomes. We have to come face to face with our fears before we can break routine and move past them.” Ticket website: https://www.artful.ly/store/events/11067 |

THE MILKMAN'S SISTER
When Nuclear Annihilation is Just Hours Away A New Play By Mark Blickley The Milkman’s Sister takes place inside a Bronx tenement during the Cuban Missile Crisis of October, 1962 when nuclear annihilation was no longer an abstraction, but just hours away. Despite a historic last minute save from atomic murder, the Spinner/Furfante household could not have been more devastated had the bomb exploded inside their 3rd floor apartment. The nerve-wracking countdown to their impending deaths unleashed an explosion of heroism, cowardice and delusion for an overweight housewife, an unemployed milkman, an angry supervisor of hospital linen and their neighbors. Featuring John F. Kennedy and a game of Limbo Rock you will not soon forget. Directed by Joe Battista
Stage manager Alison Hohman Producer Roslyn McKay Starring Robert Funaro* of HBO's The Sopranos and Vinyl Concetta Rose Rella* Dan Yaiullo Jenne Vath* * appearing courtesy of Actors' Equity Though conceived long before the election of November, 2016, the panic riding the 1962 Cuban missile crisis that consumes the memorable characters of Mark Blickley's "The Milkman's Sisters" casts an eerie and accurate echo of the feelings seizing so many of us right now generations later. His play is perhaps prophetic by default, but brilliantly so. Lehman Weichselbaum associate editor, Home Planet News |
