La MaMa presents the New York premiere of The Beautiful Lady, an unconventional musical written and composed by Tony Award-nominee Elizabeth Swados, one of Ellen Stewart’s earliest and most frequent collaborators. Set in an artists’ café during the Russian Revolution, the piece uses the words of influential poets from the time, translated by Helen Hayes Award-winner Paul Schmidt.
As the revolution quickly turns and begins to persecute its own, the performers advocate for a free and just society, seeking meaning and purpose in their resistance. In the light of the pressing issues our world faces today, The Beautiful Lady is a poignant reminder of the necessity of free speech and the enduring power of art. Bessie and Obie Award-winning director Anne Bogart directs the music-theatre piece.

Author Jack C. Wray thinks that so much has been written about the Civil War which, for him is not correct and is being positioned in public school education, Hollywood and higher education in colleges and universities misrepresenting the Southern Cause. He also believes that tourism in Savannah is skewed with stories that are not true. It is Wray's passion to present history accurately and supported with quotes 'in their own words' of key players in history. This passion led him in writing 'Who Really Saved Savannah?: The Surprising Paradox ' (published by Trafford Publishing).

Fran Briggs recently announced Part I of The Best of Summer Reading, 2014. The selections include mystery, humor, spiritual, urban literature, wit and wisdom.
