The show, Disney’s Lion King, had already been a smash at the New Amsterdam, also on Broadway. Before Lion King moved across Times Square into its new venue, the Minskoff’s existing blade/marquee paled compared to the hit show’s stature. Spectrum Signs (Farmingdale, NY), a full-service sign company, took charge of giving Lion King a new sign glow.

    Press Contact Liam Passmore Shave and a Haircut [email protected] 415-865-0860 (p); 415-218-1544 (c) The African-American Shakespeare Company Looks to Explore What It Means To Be Family in 2018 Version of Cinderella Paige Mayes in the 2017 African-American Shakespear Company's Cinderella Director Mark A. Davis looks to Sondheim and Into The Woods as inspirations to give context as he takes the reins for this year’s production of the company’s holiday classic as a story of a girl being raised by a mother “who doesn’t like her,” and her search for authentic family, which in this version will feature a Fairy Godfather offering some needed assistance in her transformation and journey that includes a pair of particularly life-changing shoes Cinderella runs for 4 performances, December 21-23 at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco; Tickets: $25 - $45 can be purchased at african-americanshakes.org October 29, 2018, San Francisco– The African-American Shakespeare Company’s annual holiday offering Cinderella returns this December in an update that recontextualizes our heroine’s dilemma into a journey that finds her seeking what director Mark A. Davis describes as “authentic family.” This, the company’s 17th production spun from their original take first produced in 2000 is their take on the oft-told tale of a girl who while fully aware of the inequalities in her life—forced as she is to wait on her stepmother and two stepsisters hand and foot— doesn't allow them to define her. After being a holiday staple for the company for close to two decades, with a number of revisions, additions and updates, Executive Director Sherri Young is always looking for ways to keep the story relevant to new audiences and reflect the changing times, all while “keeping the uniqueness that only the African-American Shakespeare Company can bring.” As always, the musical production will find our heroine thanklessly toiling away before seizing the opportunity to pursue her dreams after coming into temporary possession of a particularly life-changing pair of shoes.

NYC Official Visitor Guide A Letter from the Mayor Dear Friends: As temperatures dip, autumn turns the City’s abundant foliage to brilliant colors, providing a beautiful backdrop to the five boroughs. Neighborhoods like Fort Greene in Brooklyn, Snug Harbor on Staten Island, Long Island City in Queens and Arthur Avenue in the Bronx are rich in the cultural diversity for which the City is famous. Enjoy strolling through these communities as well as among the more than 700 acres of new parkland added in the past decade. Fall also means it is time for favorite holidays. Every October, NYC streets come alive with ghosts, goblins and revelry along Sixth Avenue during Manhattan’s Village Halloween Parade. The pomp and pageantry of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in November make for a high-energy holiday spectacle. And in early December, Rockefeller Center’s signature tree lights up and beckons to the area’s shoppers and ice-skaters. The season also offers plenty of relaxing options for anyone seeking a break from the holiday hustle and bustle.
