June 11, 2026 - FUR PAJAMAS rocked the Grand Theatre at The Producers' Club on both Thursday afternoon and evening. More than 50 people braved the extremely hot weather in NYC to discover whether or not an '80s one-hit wonder could really make it big again - and they were not disappointed.

John Allman (music) and David Ceci (book & lyrics) are already in discussions about next steps for this rockin' musical that contains both comedic and poignant layers.

Much gratitude to Joel Krantz and the Next Step Theatre Festival for providing this opportunity to bring FUR PAJAMAS to a New York audience.

April 2026 - The complex dynamics between two of the Ptolemy sisters was on full display as David presented two more scenes from the current rewrite of Act I of Arsinoë IV, his ancient Egyptian drama that tells the story of Cleopatra's younger half-sister, Arsinoë. These two scenes, however, did not include the youngest princess, who was alseep in her bed. The brilliant cast for this reading included Diana Cherkas (Berenice), Jayson Kerr (Ganymedes) and Rudaba Nasir (Cleopatra), with Mary Lahti reading multiple roles - some on camera at the same time - and the effervescent Sharlene Hartman providing stage directions. Other writers whose brilliant work was presented include Kit Goldstein Grant, Alex Gray, Marc Castle, and Ruthie Rado.
