If you have ever spent any time across the pond, you know that the local pub is at the heart of every village.  And, Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater is certainly at the heart of New York City’s music and cabaret scene.  Sandra Bernhard, Elvis Costello, Harvey Fierstein, Sutton Foster, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, and Pete Townsend among many other famous faces have graced the stage here.  Snap up these two tickets, plus $50 toward food and drink that far surpasses the usual pub fare, overseen by Executive Chef William Tilden. 

Ars Nova provides an artistic home for emerging talent by cultivating a hive of creative activity, both on stage and off.  One of this season’s new-bees is writer Dave Molloy, who is a 2011 composer-in-residence.  Dave is the winner of an OBIE Award, Glickman Award and Jonathan Larson Grant, and a recipient of the 2009 NEA/TCG Career Development Program for Theatre Directors and Designers.  His next musical, Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812, is an electropop opera adaptation of Tolstoy's War & Peace, which premieres at Ars Nova in fall 2012. You’ve got 2 tickets and the right to say you knew him when.
