 Chazz Palminteri was a young, out-of-work actor in 1989 when he wrote the play that changed his life. “I said, ‘If they won’t give me a part, I’ll write one myself.’ I went to the store, got five pads of yellow paper and started writing A Bronx Tale.” Based on his... More >> |

| Eurydice Alley Theatre | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., January 30 until Sun., March 1 | Downtown/ Midtown | |
 If you like your stories to follow a nice, straight line, you might find Eurydice a bit of a challenge. Not because the plot wanders, but because playwright Sarah Ruhl’s use of language is simultaneously jarring and poetic. You can guess from the title that this is a retelling of the... More >> |

| The Man Who Saved New Orleans Ensemble Theatre |
Wed., January 28, 7:30pm more dates/times |
