New date added! From BroadwayWorld - excerpt: Stansfield concludes, "Tom Lehrer's work is beloved for good reason. He's a sharp intellectual with a gallows humor (much like some of my other heroes: Edward Gorey, Ambrose Bierce, George Romero, et alia) and his songs are at once titillatingly dark and eerily catchy. His wit is incisive but never derisive. It's so easy to fall in love with these songs that performing them for people who have never heard them before is an honor as much as it is a pleasure. I've been so excited to work with The Penny Seats again. Every rehearsal has been full of playfulness and silliness, and our director, Lauren London, has managed to funnel all of that love and sweat directly into the show. It's 90 minutes of frenetic romp, but after each performance I've felt like doing the whole thing again. Well, maybe after a cold pint of beer. We are performing it in one of Ann Arbor's best pubs, after all."
