A BRONX TALE OCTOBER 26, 2019
Topic: The Arts and the Brain RSVP by October 18, 2019
Arts Focus: Theatre
A BRONX TALE, Broadway’s hit crowd-pleaser, takes you to the stoops of the Bronx
in the 1960s, where a young man is caught between the father he loves and the mob
boss he’d love to be.
Bursting with high-energy dance numbers and original doo-wop tunes from Acad-
emy Award® and Tony® Award-winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast) and
Tony® Award-nominee Glenn Slater (Love Never Dies), A BRONX TALE is an unforget-
table story of loyalty and family. The New York Times hails A BRONX TALE as “A Critics’
Pick! The kind of tale that makes you laugh and cry.”
THE PLAY THAT FEBRUARY 15, 2020
GOES WRONG: RSVP February 7, 2020
Topic: Developing Creativity in Children and Adolescents
Arts Focus: Theatre
What would happen if Sherlock Holmes and Monty Python had an illegitimate
Broadway baby? You’d get THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, Broadway & London’s
award-winning smash comedy! Called “A GUT-BUSTING HIT” (The New York Times) and
“THE FUNNIEST PLAY BROADWAY HAS EVER SEEN” (HuffPost), this classic murder
mystery is chock-full of mishaps and madcap mania delivering “A RIOTOUS EXPLO-
SION OF COMEDY” (Daily Beast) that is “TONS OF FUN FOR ALL AGES” (HuffPost)!
BUDDY MARCH 21, 2020
Topic: Teaching Critical Thinking though the Arts RSVP March 13, 2020
Arts Focus: Music
BUDDY – THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY tells the true story of Buddy’s meteoric rise
to fame, from the moment in 1957 when ‘That’ll be the day’ hit the airwaves until
his tragic death less than two years later on ‘The Day the Music Died.” The show
features over 20 of Buddy Holly’s greatest hits including ‘That’ll be the Day’, ‘Peggy
Sue’, ‘Oh, Boy’, ‘Not fade away’, ‘Rave on’, and ‘Raingin in my heart’, plus Ritchi Val-
ens’ ‘La Bamba’ and The Big Bopper’s ‘Chantilly Lace’.
The incredible legacy of the young man with glasses, whose musical career
spanned al all-too-brief period during the golden days of rock & roll, continues to
live on in BUDDY and will “send you out of the theatre on an unstoppable high.”
