Additional stars include Judy Kuhn, Deven Green, Ginger Minj, Judy Gold, Unitard, Liz Callaway, Kelli O’Hara, and more.
The show will go on in Provincetown. Mark Cortale, Producing Artistic Director of The Art House, has confirmed that his full 2021 summer lineup will proceed as-planned in August and September. Over the next five weeks alone, between now and Labor Day weekend, The Art House and Town Hall in Provincetown will host a "who's who" constellation of Broadway award-winners and music & comedy all-stars with no less than sixteen individual shows opening across the two venues' three stages.

The news follows Provincetown Township's nationally spotlighted leadership this past week in its swift and successful implementation of indoor mask mandate and nation-leading vaccination compliance. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is now required for all shows at both The Art House and Town Hall, and at all other indoor venues in Provincetown. The occasion coincides with what will be Mr. Cortale's official ten year anniversary helming the famed Cape Cod venue - after the 2020 season was postponed. Returning center stage is the internationally acclaimed Broadway @ series first launched here in 2011 by Mr. Cortale and now in more than a dozen major venues worldwide.
The result? While billionaires race each other into space, the celestial stars are heading to idyllic P-Town's summer stages:
Having just added an additional show last night on August 1st, by popular demand, the four-time Tony Award Nominated Broadway favorite Judy Kuhn (Fun Home, Les Misérables & Chess) performs again tonight, August 2nd with Broadway @ The Art House series' music director and host Seth Rudetsky.
