THE STOREFRONT
was founded in 2000 and has gone on to produce many celebrated theatre
pieces. Most recently, The Storefront produced the critically-acclaimed
revival of A.R. Gurney's LOVE LETTERS, featuring an all-star, rotating
cast, which included Stephen Bogardus, Matt Bogart, Charles Busch,
Jim Dale, Jerry Dixon, Daisy Eagan, Randy Graff, Mary Cleere Haran,
Andrew Lippa, Tonya Pinkins, Lonnie Price and Rex Reed. Previously,
The Storefront debuted a new version of the Schwartz/Strouse/Stein
musical, RAGS, which starred Anne Runolfsson and Leslie Kritzer, amongst
other successful projects.
NEW MONDAYS
debuted in the summer of 2002, and has since presented music from
over 100 composers, both up and coming and legendary. Among past New
Mondays participants: Andrew Lippa, Bill Russell, William Finn, David
Friedman, Carol Hall, Henry Krieger, Jason Robert Brown, John Bucchino,

the series, Storefront audiences have been the first to hear music
from musicals such as Wicked, Moonstruck, Harold and Maude, Marty,
R Shomon and Dracula. In 2003, The Storefront received both the Nightlife
Award from the collected nightlife critics of New York, as well as
the MAC (Manhattan Association of Clubs and Cabarets) Award, on behalf
of NEW MONDAYS.
The June
28th event promises to be a spectacular evening, filled with the talents
of many brilliant composers and vocalists - all alumnus of the series.
All proceeds will benefit The Storefront Theatre and specifically,
the NEW MONDAYS series, so that the company may continue their work
of debuting new work in front of live audiences. NEW MONDAYS IN CONCERT
is produced and directed by Phil Geoffrey Bond, Founding Artistic
Director of The Storefront.
