The evenings will feature songs and monologues taken from interviews with Brooklyn residents, business owners, community activists, politicians, and students, among others.

Also newly added to the schedule are performances of Kenny Mellman, Bridget Everett and Neal Medlyn’s Our Hit Parade (September 29, October 27), which will feature guest appearances by Lea Delaria, Jenn Harris, Erin Markey, Eye Of The Tiger, Melody Sweets, Novice Theory and Carmine Covelli. Additionally, Justin Bond has scheduled a series of dates at the Pub throughout the fall, beginning with ones on September 12 and 19.

The events are in addition to such previously reported offerings as Haviland Stillwell’s CD celebration on September 12, and concert presentations of Heathers: The Musical (September 13).
