NYC: THE JULIANA PROJECT BY VANDA

The JULIANA PROJECT returns to THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 212-255-5438) on each 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm. Each month the cast of the JULIANA PROJECT performs a number of chapters from the novel, JULIANA, in a way that is similar to a mini-series. In each "episode" the story is brought to life as the actors recreate scenes from 1940s New York. Often these scenes occur in places familiar to modern day audiences, such as Times Square, MacDougal Street and Cafe Reggio. The "episodes" contain live musical performances, comedy, sex and drama, performed in clothing suggestive of the time period. The audience becomes engulfed in this bygone era and soon finds itself in the midst of a gripping story of gay men and women living through a tumultuous time of fear, triumph, secrecy, love and excitement. Vanda, the writer, has earned numerous awards as a playwright. In addition to being an Edward Albee Fellow, Vanda was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award, and recently won Best New Play in Celebration Theater's New Play Contest (originators of Naked Boys Singing). Her play, PATIENT HM, won first place in Pride Stage and Screen's Women's Contest and another play, THE FORGETTING CURVE, which is under option to Theatrum Mundi, was produced at Boston Arts Center this past September. Her work has been produced in New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and Scotland. Her prose has been published in Prairie Schooner, The Outrider Review and Pentimento. No cover, just a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: MIGGUEL ANGGELO: I, INMIGRANTE AT JOE'S PUB

Migguel Anggelo returns to JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555) on Tuesday, June 23rd at 7:30 pm (and returns on Monday, September 28th) with an encore performance of his new show I, Inmigrante, developed with and directed by Obie Award winner David Drake. The Brooklyn-based, Venezuelan-born dynamo known for his electric stage performances, cut his teeth in the worlds of musical theater and opera and backed by his virtuosic band and a pair of sensational singers, creates a kaleidoscope of vocal theatrics and poetic storytelling that is hilarious and touching in equal measure. Through his original compositions and reinterpretations of Latin, folk, and pop classics, I, Inmigrante deftly explores the very personal themes of immigration, national pride, the barriers of language, the emotional ramifications of political dictatorship, and the dreams of the artist who must follow his passion (while wrestling with his demons) in order to find a place he can call home. Musical Direction by Mau Quiros. There is a $20 cover.

NYC: THE HUNTS AT JOE'S PUB

Sibling band The Hunts released their debut album, entitled "Those Younger Days," on June 9th, 2015, via Cherrytree Records/ Interscope. They will be appearing at JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE(425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555) on Tuesday, June 23rd at 9:30 pm in support of the album. The band wrote all of the songs on the album, which was recorded in Virginia Beach, VA, not far from their hometown of Chesapeake, and executive produced by Chris Kuffner (A Great Big World, Ingrid Michaelson). The first single from "Those Younger Days" is "Make This Leap" - a lilting slice of folk-pop built on layered harmonies, intricately textured acoustic instrumentation, and lyrics that gracefully shift from melancholy to triumphant. The correlating video was shot in Chesapeake with a few moments filmed on the family's property and was directed by Michelle Peerali, who has collaborated with such artists as The Kills, The Cult, The Black Keys, Pyyramids, and Moby. "Make This Leap" is also included on the band's debut EP "Life Was Simple," which was released in August 2014. The Hunts have been playing music together almost their entire lives. Ranging from ages 17 to 25, twin sisters Jenni and Jessi and their five brothers Josh, Jonathan, Jordan, Justin, and Jamison all learned to sing and play violin as young kids and spent much of their childhood performing throughout their community. After teaching themselves to play instruments like mandolin, piano, ukulele, banjo, and drums, The Hunts began experimenting with songwriting and soon brought to life a batch of songs that reveal their sophisticated sense of melody and dreamy innocence. There is a $15 cover.
