The After Party:
Here's something a little different: The After Party is an informal midtown schmoozefest for the theatrically inclined, every Friday night from 10:30pm to 2am at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. The press release says, "There is no cover charge and no minimum. Come and sing yourself as the mic is always open, or sit back and enjoy a cocktail with friends. Located just blocks from the Great White Way, you never know who might drop in." There is a full bar and bar menu available, and reservations are not necessary for this event.

Into the Weeds
This is a brand new musical revue, conceived and directed by Jeff Cohen, featuring selections from the Bill Weeden songbook. This info is from the press materials: "Into the Weeds is an eclectic sampling of songs written and performed over the last 40 years by composer/performer Bill Weeden and a host of friends and collaborators including Sally Fay, Ethan Fein and David Finkle. The team of Weeden, Finkle and Fay won the 1980 NACCA Award (which later became the MAC) as Best Cabaret Comedy Group. Their musical Move It and It's Yours was named New Jersey's "Best New Musical" in 1998. Several of their songs are featured in Martin Charnin's popular The No-Frills Revue. Weeden wrote the song "One Big Team" for the 1988 New York Yankees' Old Timer's Day-and an updated version of the song will be premiered at Into the Weeds prior to its airing on the YES Network and at Yankee Stadium this August."
