The Project Rushmore Theatre company will present Bob Ader's one man show FIFTY+ YEARS IN THE BUSINESS (the musical memoirs of an overgrown, 50+ year old child actor) on Sunday, April 19th at 3pm and Monday, April 20th at 7:30pm. Performances will be at PS87 Theatre, located at 160 West 78th Street.

FIFTY YEARS...is a celebration of show business. Mr. Ader (who recently appeared in the Drama Desk nominated THE GOLDEN LAND ) will, through music, dancing and comedy, reminisce about appearing in the David Merrick produced JUNIPER AND THE PAGANS; working, on Broadway, with Lillian Gish in ALL THE WAY HOME; on the television series CAR 54, WHERE ARE YOU? starring Fred Gwynne; singing OVER THE RAINBOW with Judy Garland at Madison Square Garden; closing out of town in Elaine May's A MATTER OF POSITION starring Mike Nichols and Beatrice Arthur. This heartfelt look back will also include stories of working with such as luminaries as Jerry Lewis, Bobby Darin, Colleen Dewhurst, Jack Gilford and Richard Rodgers.

Directed by Sydnie Grosberg Ronga and Marilyn Spanier with piano accompanist, Miriam Daly and musical arrangements by Salvatore Messano.
