Founded in 2000, The Storefront has presented several celebrated theater pieces, including A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters with a rotating cast of stars and a revised version of the Charles Strouse-Stephen Schwartz musical Rags. The New Mondays series, initiated in the summer of 2002, has introduced audiences to such musicals as Wicked, Moonstruck, Harold and Maude, Marty, R Shomon, and Dracula through the performance of selections from their scores.
