2024 Mic in Hands

How It Started…

In May 2023, the Playhouse presented Ari Axelrod – A Place For Us: A Celebration of Jewish Broadway as a Mic in Hand: a spin-off of our Script in Hand series. It was internationally acclaimed, award-winning show honoring the songs and stories of Jewish composers and their contributions to the American Musical. Said Mark Shanahan, series curator- “I’m  excited to expand our Script In Hand series into this new format for the first time, especially with Ari Axelrod taking the stage. There’s a good reason Ari’s show is so celebrated. It’s joyous, funny, revealing and ultimately, an extremely moving evening of theatre presented  by a master storyteller delivering some of the greatest songs ever written.”
