The title of this concert event is taken from the feature-length documentary film After The Storm, that follows the production of Once on This Island at St. Mark’s from auditions through performances in New Orleans and New York and also includes the story of each young actor’s life in the wake of Katrina. The award-winning film (featuring a new song by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty) opened the LA Film Festival in July and premiered in New York on October 5.
Joe’s Pub has also announced additions to its schedule including David Pittu in What the World Needs Now: Jacob Sterling at Joe’s Pub (January 17, 18, 24), Sutton Foster (January 24), Tom Kitt (February 1), and Paula Cole (February 17).
