WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Playwright Richard Vetere and Director Charles Messina, the creative battery behind the upcoming Broadway musical Be My Love, about the tragic life of tenor Mario Lanza, are teaming up once again for a limited

Rockaway Boulevard is a gritty drama about a working class couple from Queens whose past comes back to haunt them in the person of a shady childhood friend. The play was originally developed at The Actor's Studio in 1978 and went on to enjoy two successful Off-Broadway runs in the 1980's.

Johnny thinks he can better conditions for himself and Helen by buying i[...]
