UK-rock band Neck Deep is back and better than ever with their newest track 'STFU' – following 2020’s All Distortions Are Intentional – and their first self-released music in a decade since the band's original demos.

Inspired by the collaborative musical sensations of TikTok (Ratatouille, The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical), Fabulist Theatre put out a call to see who would be interested in co-creating and/or performing in a new musical collaboratively, with the intent to put it up online as one big, cohesive show.

TFANA (Jeffrey Horowitz, Founding Artistic Director) has cancelled the first four performances of its new production of Alice Childress’s Wedding Band, directed by Awoye Timpo, due to two COVID-19 cases discovered through TFANA’s routine testing of the company: April 23 at 7:30pm, April 24 at 7:30pm, and April 27 at 3pm and 7:30pm. The theater plans to begin previews on April 28 and to open on schedule on May 8.

Magnolia Park incorporates elements of hip-hop, emo and alternative pop into their music. Originally produced by Andrew Wade (A Day To Remember,) “Tokyo” was then worked on by Matt Malpass (Blink 182, Travis Barker, MGK) and mixed by Alex Ghenea (blackbear, Ariana Grande) for a true mashup of Y2K and Gen Z pop-punk.
