Transformation Four short plays featuring famous figures in Lower East Side history, including Fiorello LaGuardia, Vincent Astor, Janis Joplin, Bill Graham, Mary Simkhovitch, Marcus Loew, and Bruce Mailman. They tell of the founding of celebrated institutions of education, finance, and debauch: Cooper Union, First Houses, The Commodore Burlesque Hall, The Saint, The Fillmore East. Plus there's the dance that was born of a domestic disturbance. |
Cooper Union, Cooper Union Book and Lyrics by Sheilah Rae Music by Debra Barsha Who would dare to put men who were black or white, Jewish or Christian, with…(gasp)... women in the same classroom? The story of Peter Cooper's best and biggest idea ...in song! Sunshine in Every Window by Rex McGregor In 1934, crusading city planner Mary Simkhovitch makes a difficult ally for Fiorello LaGuardia and Eleanor Roosevelt. The mayor and First Lady just want to build the first public housing in America; Mary demands it live up to America’s ideals. The Bowery Waltz a comedy with dancing by Jen Plants On a rooftop in the Bowery, one last look at a glorious view and a ferocious contest to earn the right to sell it. But what’s the right price for generations of memories? Emigrant by Arlene Jaffe Can a building have a soul? 105 Second Avenue: a literal cornerstone of East Village life, from beginning of the 20th century to the end, from den of iniquity to pillar of the community...the story of the many lives lived by one famous and infamous address. |
