composer

Curated by former Broadway performer and Billboard-featured indie singer-songwriter Nicola Vazquez, this concert series highlights genre-blurring composer-lyricists in an intimate, in-the-round format that blends original music, storytelling, and spontaneous collaboration.

These artists perform original material in a collaborative, round-robin format, sharing the stage and spotlight in equal measure while exploring the intersections of music, theatre, identity, and genre.

Admission details and ticketing information to be announced.

The Band's Visit actors Katrina Lenk and George Abud will reunite for a new version of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's Threepenny Opera.

Jake Landau will provide new orchestrations and additional lyrics for the production. Choreography will be by Brianna Mercado, and costume design by Raul Luna. Additional creative team members and casting will be announced at a later date.

Abud will star as Macheath, as well as adapt and direct the production, which will be called 3Penny Opera. It will run Off-Broadway January 15-25, 2026 at Theatre at St. Jean's, produced by Off-Brand Opera.

The new adaptation sets Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s 3penny Opera in present day New York City against the backdrop of a Mayoral Inauguration. Themes of immigration abuse and class warfare burn beneath a vaudevillian veneer of riotous Brechtian comedy.

Tony winner Lenk will play Pirate Jenny, Tony nominee Barbara Walsh (Falsettos) will play Polly Peachum, Paula Gaudier (The Beautiful Lady) will play Pam/Young Polly, Mahira Kakkar (Manifest) will play Tiger Brown, and Aline Salloum (A People’s Guide To History) will play Mrs. Peachum.
