  • Greg Edwards & Andy Sandberg's Craving For
    For Immediate Release January 28, 2014 GREG EDWARDS & ANDY SANDBERG’S CRAVING FOR TRAVEL MAKES WORLD PREMIERE OFF-BROADWAY, DIRECTED BY SANDBERG Two-Actor, 30-Character Comedy about Travel Agents and the People They Serve Is Commissioned and Produced by Travel Agent Jim Strong, Stars Michele Ragusa and Thom Sesma The best luxury travel agents are thriving as never before, at a time when the internet would seem to have made them obsolete. According to a recent study, one in three travel agencies is actively hiring, due to demand for professionals who can give advice about the infinite choices available and can listen to, and meet, particular clients’ needs and desires. Of course, not all of those clients’ needs and desires are what you would call reasonable. All of which makes for a highly competitive industry, and one full of comedic raw material. Greg Edwards & Andy Sandberg capture the humor in their new play, Craving for Travel. Commissioned and produced by Jim Strong, one of America’s leading luxury travel agents, and directed by Sandberg, the play is making its world premiere through February 9, 2014 at the Peter J. Sharp Theater (416 W. 42nd Street, NYC). Performances take place Tuesday - Saturday at 7:30pm, Sunday at 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday at 3pm. The Sunday, Feb 9 matinee performance will take place at 2pm (instead of 3pm). There are added performances Jan 29 and Feb 5 at 3pm, and no 7pm performance on Feb 2 or 9. Previews began Jan 9, and the world premiere opened on Jan 22.

  • Geva's 44 Season Begins with a Funny Thing Happened On
    Media Contact: Dawn Kellogg Communications Manager (585) 420-2059 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GEVA’S 44TH SEASON BEGINS WITH A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM Geva kicks off season with Sondheim’s rollicking Roman musical romp. Broadway vet (and Rochester native) Steve Rosen stars as Pseudolus. Forum is the first production in the newly-renovated Geva. Rochester, N.Y., September 6, 2016 – Audiences are in for an outrageously hilarious time as Geva Theatre Center presents A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum with a book by Bert Shevelove and Larry Gelbart and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and directed by Melissa Rain Anderson in the Elaine P. Wilson Stage from October 4 through November 6. Stephen Sondheim’s Tony Award-winning, rollicking romp is fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musical comedies ever written. Pseudolus, a crafty slave, will do anything to win his freedom, including trying to win the hand of the beautiful (but dim) courtesan-next-door for his young master. With hilarious twists and turns, mistaken identity, slamming doors (and a showgirl or two), Forum has “something for everyone, a comedy tonight!” Inspired by the plays of the Roman playwright Plautus, and featuring a book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum was the first musical for which Stephen Sondheim wrote both the music and the lyrics. It opened on Broadway in May of 1962 where it ran for two years and garnered several Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Author of Musical.
