The Roosevelt Island Daily News
(5/10/22, Roosevelt Island, NY, NY) On May 20-22, The Main Street Theatre teen students, under the direction of Jacqueline Lucid, are set to take the stage once again in CURTAINS, the Tony and Drama Desk award-winning musical comedy featuring one of the last scores by the legendary songwriting team of Kander & Ebb.
“It’s the brassy, bright, and promising year of 1959. Boston’s Colonial Theatre is host to the opening night performance of a new musical. When the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage the entire cast & crew are suspects. Enter a local detective, who just happens to be a musical theatre fan! Packed with glorious tunes and a witty, charming script filled with delightful characters, CURTAINS is a hilarious journey for both performers and the audience.” – Theatrical Rights Worldwide

Who Does This?
At the June 18 meeting of the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation’s Real Estate Development Advisory Committee, President and Chief Executive Officer B.J. Jones acknowledged that there had been no progress finding a tenant for the long-discussed medical space on Main Street. Hudson/Related Realty LLC had told him that filling the space, along with other vacant storefronts, was proving more difficult than expected.
