CINDY OF ARC to Return to the Laurie Beechman Theatre in November and December
Performances will take place on November 15 and December 13.
Following a sold out performance in October, tickets are now available for CINDY OF ARC, playing November 15 and December 13 @ 9:30 pm at The Laurie Beechman Theatre, downstairs at the West Bank Cafe (407 W 42nd St). 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, CINDY OF ARC 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. 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."
Tickets to CINDY OF ARC are currently on sale by visiting westbankcafe.com/laurie-beechman-theatre. General admission is $25. More on Cindy of Arc and Cynthia Kaplan can be found at cindyofarc.com and cynthiakaplan.com.
CINDY OF ARC features NYC musicians Scott Stein, Dan Barman, Zachary Larson, and Julian Maile.
