Castle Village: Cello Stories: A Life Under Broadway

We’re thrilled to be hosting the extraordinary cellist @mairidp in a presentation of her one-woman show, which intersperses performances with descriptions of her extraordinary life as a veteran of 23 Broadway shows.

Mairi Dorman-Phaneuf has established a busy career in New York City as a solo, chamber, Broadway, and recording artist. Since 2003 she has held chairs in twenty-three Broadway shows, including The Bridges of Madison County, A Little Night Music, Sunday in the Park with George, and Parade. Off-Broadway credits include the premiere productions of Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years (Chicago 2001, NYC 2002). Her debut solo album “Music of Broadway for Cello and Piano,” released in September 2021 on Craft Recordings/Concord Theatricals, has been described as “sublime” by BroadwayWorld. Following her sold-out debut at Birdland Jazz Club in 2018 she continues to present headlining shows featuring Broadway’s greatest stars. Cello Stories: A Life Under Broadway premiered at the Perelman Performing Arts Center in 2023.

Hebrew Tabernacle: Pied Piper Theatre presents Our Town

Our Town follows characters in the fictional town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, through events such as “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage,” and “Death and Eternity.” The staging is famously minimal, and the action is narrated by a person known only as the Stage Manager. The deceptively simple structure of Our Town veils the profound question at its heart: What is it like to be a human being during our short time on Earth?

Moving, universal, and complex, the play reminds us of our shared humanity.
