HOW TO BE A NEW YORKER to Celebrate 300th Performance Today

Now in its third smash year, HOW TO BE A NEW YORKER, starring Kevin James Doyle and Olivia Petzy, will celebrate its 300th performance today (Saturday) at the 1:30 matinee at Planet Hollywood Times Square.

Written by Margaret Copeland and Kevin James Doyle, HOW TO BE A NEW YORKER delivers a laugh-filled tour around the greatest city in the world. Under the direction of OBIE Award winner Robert Ross Parker, this "Saturday Night Live" style comedy features a hilarious look at NYC's 400-year history. Immigrants, construction workers, Wall Street bankers, panhandlers, MTA workers, and even cruelly maligned pigeons all get a solid lampooning! It doesn't matter if you were born on the Upper West Side or just took your first terrifying cab ride, you'll love learning How to Be a New Yorker.

This weekend's holiday playing schedule for HOW TO BE A NEW YORKER is today at 1:30 & 7 PM, and Sunday at 1:30 PM at the Screening Room Theater at Planet Hollywood, 1540 Broadway (entrance on 45th Street just east of Broadway). Lunch or dinner is served at each performance with a delicious menu, catered by Buca di Beppo, consisting of House Salad, Spaghetti Marinara, Fettuccini Alfredo, Chicken Parmigiana, and Cookies & Brownies. Tickets are $59 (including the full buffet) and are available by calling 212-352-3101 or through www.How2BaNewYorker.com.
