CINDY OF ARC by Cynthia Kaplan is Coming to The Laurie Beechman Theatre

Tickets are now available for CINDY OF ARC, playing October 18th at 9:30 pm at The Laurie Beechman Theatre, downstairs at the West Bank Cafe.This timely rock'n'roll musical, written and performed by acclaimed comedic author and musician Cynthia Kaplan and directed by Emmy winning and Tony nominated Dani Davis, was a finalist for the 2023 Richard Rodgers Award for Musical Theater. A hilarious, no holds barred critique of the stories men have told since the dawn of time to keep women down and out, it has played to cheering audiences and rave reviews at NYC's Dixon Place, The Bitter End, Seattle's Intiman Theatre, Baltimore Theatre Project, and the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. Press is welcome.

ABOUT THE PLAY:

A comedy and rock music extravaganza about the problem men have with lying and where that's gotten the rest of us, particularly women. And Jews. CINDY OF ARC speaks truth to politics, religion, Nazis, Joseph Campbell, Plato, and the guys who wrote Delta Dawn, all in a blistering 60 minutes. Also, expect profanity, dogs, cannibals, and cheerleading. Seattle press called Cindy of Arc "a special blend of the poppiest of Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon's Prairie Home Invasion political satire cuts, folded into Lauren Weedman's comedic musical commentary whipped with the stalwart feminist political devotion of The Raging Grannies."

Through partnerships with local and national reproductive rights organizations CINDY OF ARC performances have raised over $11,000 for abortion access and advocacy.

Proceeds from the upcoming NYC performance will benefit the Harris/Walz campaign.
