SESSIONS, a musical in therapy, continues its off-Broadway run at the Algonquin Theater (123 East 24th Street). Directed by Thomas Coté, SESSIONS is a candid and witty new musical by Albert M. Tapper (From Where I Stand, Broadway: The Golden Age) about the trials and tribulations of everyday life as seen through the eyes of a New York therapist and his patients. Tony Sportiello/Algonquin Theater Productions and Jason Hewitt are the producers.

In SESSIONS, a New York therapist is challenged to balance his patients' needs with his own- all while fending off advances from one very enticing female subject. His experiences remind us that even those we look to for guidance can be as vulnerable as we are.

SESSIONS stars Bertilla Baker (Titanic, Bernarda Alba), Al Bundonis (Whistle Down The Wind, Ragtime), Maya Days (Aida, Jesus Christ Superstar), Scott Richard Foster (Brooklyn the Musical), John Hickok (Parade, Aida), Drama Desk and Theatre World award winner Ken Jennings (Sweeney Todd, Urinetown), Tony nominee Liz Larsen (The Most Happy Fella, The Rocky Horror Show), Kelli Maguire (Swingtime Canteen, A Wonderful Life) and Sky Seals (Much Ado About Nothing, Medea).

The creative team includes Steven Gross (Musical Arrangements, Orchestrations, Supervision), John McDermott (Scenic Design), Penny Ayn Maas (Choreography), Michele Pasqua (Costume Design), Brant Thomas Murray (Lighting Design), Josh Liebert (Sound Design), and James Horvath (Additional Choreography).

SESSIONS previously played a limited summer engagement at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater before undergoing changes of casting and direction. This revised incarnation has played at the Algonquin Theater since October 28th, 2008.

The playing schedule for SESSIONS is Wednesday-Saturday at 8pm as well at playing 3pm matinees on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. All seats are $50 and are available by visiting www.smarttix.com or by calling 212-868-4444. Senior and student discount tickets are available for $20.
