SUMMARY:Steve Budd: Oy\, What They Said About Love
DESCRIPTION:Steve Budd comes to NYC for a performance of his award-winning solo play “Oy\, What They Said About Love” at Don’t Tell Mama NYC on SATURDAY\, JANUARY 17 at 8:00 PM.

Oy\, does he wonder! So he asked a bunch of couples what brought them together and what keeps them from pulling apart. Meet a Jewish couple who met on Craigslist\, an interfaith pair who met on Halloween\, and more. Budd plays a dozen characters and weaves in his relentless search for “the one.” \nSteve Budd’s “Oy\, What They Said About Love” premiered at the San Francisco Fringe Festival on July 28\, 2024\, at the Exit Theatre. It continued with a performance at the Binge Fringe Festival in Santa Monica in March 2025\, followed by a featured presentation at The Marsh in Berkeley on April 22 as part of its Marsh Risings series.

SUMMARY:Martin Bonventre: Swingin’ In A New Dimension EP release celebration at The Laurie Beechman Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Martin Bonventre\,  a true old-school showman with a baritone voice\, smooth moves\, and a big\, open-hearted personality\, brings his show to The Laurie Beechman Theatre with the release of his brand-new EP\, Swingin’ in a New Dimension. This all-new solo show blends a wide variety of music from the Great American Songbook to golden-age musical theatre to Tom Jones and Neil Diamond. \nBacked by a killer band of seasoned pros\, with arrangements by music director Jackie Presti\, the night features:\n•        Jason Yeager on piano\n•        Tony Tedesco on drums\n•        Boots Maleson on bass\n•        Greg Ruvolo on trumpet\n•        Geoff Burke on sax and flute \nExpect a few dance breaks\, a few good stories\, and a whole lotta swing. \n“As Sinatra learned from Bing Crosby and took crooning into a new dimension\, Martin Bonventre has learned from the whole history of swingin’ singers — from Crosby to Marvin Gaye — and he makes music all his own. He’s a swinger for the bold and unexpected new ways things swing today.”\n— David Hajdu\, author of Love for Sale: Pop Music in America
