Larry Rinkel will be showcasing seven of his short plays in a eight-performance run entitled "Rinkels and Fine Lines: An Evening Of Short Plays By Larry Rinkel." This production is scheduled to run between April 28-May 4 at the American Theatre of Actors, 314 W. 54 Street in New York City. Four directors and 23 actors will present this showcase. All proceeds from the box office will be donated to the non-profit Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation (https://mhopus.org/), which "keeps music alive in our schools by providing vital support services to school districts, and musical instruments to underfunded music programs nationwide, giving under-represented youth access to the many benefits of music education, leading them to success in school, and inspiring creativity and expression through playing music." But to fund this production we need your help, and therefore we have established an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to meet our goal by April 5: https://igg.me/at/B8rSB94qOzg/x/38491553.
Debut Theater Company's 2025 season starts off with a bang! THE PENTHOUSE SUITE is opening May 3 at BACCA, followed by performances in Northport on May 17-18. You'll love this original play about wholly likeable folks trying to hold onto their rent-controlled apartment while the forces of progress close in on their rickety old building. Antique toys, an extremely rare spider, and the world's best coffee set the stage for a charming love story. With Meg Coyne, Robert Budnick, James Rappa, Rosemary Kurtz, and Sydney Matuszak, directed by Martin Knapp, Tickets at debutco.booktix.com or at the door.
