The article which was published by Felicia R. Lee in “The New Yourk Times” reports at length that New York City Center will be home this summer to a new series of Off Broadway musicals reincarnated by contemporary artists and intended to attract young audiences with tickets priced mostly at $25 and free preperformance events.
Speaking of the series it is necessary to note that it will feature three shows under the artistic direction of the composer Jeanine Tesori (“Caroline, or Change”). The article is in favour of the show, originally developed in 1937 with funds from the Federal Theater Project, a branch of the Works Progress Administration, was brought to City Center by Leonard Bernstein in 1947.
There is a lot of comment that the show will be followed on July 17 by a one-night-only performance of “Violet,” with music by Ms. Tesori and lyrics by Brian Crawley. It is an open secret that it is an annual event, Ms. Tesori said. Tickets go on sale April 15. the reporter is sure that “Encores! Off-Center” will also feature free precurtain conversations and other events with artists, scholars and musicians.
It is the shortest rendering so far!
