The New York Arts and Sciences Salon has announced pianist Michael Fennelly, Soprano Megan Weston and Tenor Ian McUen will join composer Patrick Soluri in concert this Thursday April 30.  The concert, which takes place at the newly renovated Beethoven Piano Concert Space, showcases the composer's love of storytelling through music in works of opera, ballet and film/television scoring.  Concert highlights will include an aria from Mr. Soluri's dramatic one-act opera EMBEDDED, which Fort Worth Opera has just announced to be part of their 2016 season,  and his 10 minute comic opera FIGARO & THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE.

Stable Cable Lab Co.'s production of "Live from the Surface Of the Moon" is certainly far out like the radical 1960s decade in which it takes place…but not necessarily in a good way. Written and directed by Max Baker, this new play takes audiences to a blue-collar home in 1969 Cleveland, Ohio. In this moment, a bizarre cast of characters gathers to view the moon landing on television. Don (Ian Patrick Poake), an ice cream truck driver, and his extremely pregnant wife, Carol (Kate Garfield) have invited over their friends, the pseudo-feminist June (Breanna Foister), and her decidedly sexist, creepy husband Wendell (Brian Edelman). Carol's slightly senile father, Joe (Kevin Gilmartin) and the young, pitiful, and awkward Holly (Lisa Anderson) also join the party.

Stable Cable Lab Co. (Shariffa Ali and Vera Khodasevich, Producers) will present Live From the Surface of the Moon, a new play written and directed by Max Baker, tonight, April 2-11 at The Wild Project (195 East 3rd Street between Avenue A and B).
