    Brooks Ashmanskas – June 14th

    Today marks both Brooks’ birthday and ten years since I first saw She Loves Me, which pretty much instantly became my favorite musical. Despite sitting in the very last row of the balcony on a hot, humid night with broken air conditioning, I was so immersed in the story by the time Georg Nowack sang I’M FREEZING, THAT’S BECAUSE IT’S COLD OUT that I completely believed him. It was magical, and I really don’t use that term lightly.

    WORLD PREMIERE COMEDY
    by Douglas Carter Beane
    inspired by Francis Veber’s play Le Placard
    directed by Mark Brokaw

    Tony Award winner and Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Matthew Broderick stars in this world premiere comedy by Douglas Carter Beane, inspired by Le Placard, the French comedy by Academy Award nominee Francis Veber.
     Martin O’Reilly (Broderick) is stuck in Scranton in a dead-end job,
    his marriage is over, and his son won’t return his calls.  His only
    friend is his eternally optimistic co-worker (Tony nominee Jessica Hecht), who can’t bake enough muffins to stave off her romantic longings.  When a stranger (Tony nominee Brooks Ashmanskas) sashays into their world, he drags Martin—and everyone around him—out of their respective closets.  Helmed by Mark Brokaw,
    this contemporary satire breaks the chains of political correctness and
    celebrates the possibility of finding authenticity and love (and show
    tunes) in unexpected places.
