The Sunday Giveaway: Two Tickets to Our New Girl at Atlantic Theater Company!
Even though it’s Tony Sunday (think anyone in Washington would declare today a national holiday? That politician would get my vote), we’re still hard at work bringing you chances to get free tickets.
And this week, we’ve got the award-winning Atlantic Theater Company, and their brand spankin’ new production of Our New Girl by Ms. Nancy Harris, an Irish playwright debuting her exciting new show in the states.
What’s this play about? Well, you know that classic old story saying, “A stranger comes to town and everything changes?” This play is more like, “A nanny comes to town and everything changes.”
So let’s get one of you to see this new nanny diary for free.
Here’s how you win:
Let’s think about that “stranger comes to town,” story-type for a second.
Comment below with the title of a play or a musical that follows that plotline and you could win the tix. For example, 110 in the Shade.
Give me your tired, your poor, and your stranger stories below! Good luck!

— “I’ve always depended on the kindness of strangers”….Iconic quote from a seminal play.

Just to be different, how about “Once Upon A Mattress”? Remember that great show from the ’60’s? Princess Winifred comes to town (after swimming across the moat) and makes her mark. This was the first Broadway musical I ever saw and Carol Burnett stole my heart. Remember the song “Shy” which she belts out to the rafters, to tell the townspeople how shy she is? For those that don’t know this show, please check out the recording because it’s full of treasures.
Flim-flam men, music, merry mayhem–“High Button Shoes.”
I just saw a great production of William Inge’s play, A LOSS OF ROSES, in which the stranger is a woman–pretty unusual. She’s a show-biz aunt who is down on her luck and whose visit generates a big change in her nephew’s future. After seeing this play, I remembered PICNIC, another Inge play with a “stranger/town” plot: A drifter enters a small town and unsettles the citizens (mostly the women)!
The Music Man
The Bridges of Madison County, for sure.
Whistle Down the Wind
There are many, but my favorite is definitely The Music Man.

Sweeney Todd… Leap of Faith… Light in the Piazza
