GOINGS ON ABOUT TOWN
OCTOBER 13 – 19, 2021
The playwright Douglas Carter Beane, whose zinger-filled œuvre includes “The Little Dog Laughed” and
the musical “Xanadu,” combines an acid wit with a gushy love of show biz. In his new play “Fairycakes,”
which he directs Off Broadway, starting Oct. 14, at Greenwich House Theatre, Beane borrows from “A
Midsummer Night’s Dream,” as well as bits of “Cinderella” and “Pinocchio.” The cast of world-class hams
includes (from left to right) Kristolyn Lloyd, Ann Harada, Jason Tam, Jackie Hoffman, and Mo Rocca.
As New York City venues reopen, it’s advisable to confirm in advance the requirements for in-person attendance.
