"In a world where we pin, post, tweet and tumble everything, truth is more elusive than ever. Secrets are slippery and lying as easy as a flick of the wrist. Charlatan explores the many tantalizing faces of deception – the impostors, the frauds and the fakes. Who better to delve into the mysteries of deceit than a professional deceiver? Step behind the curtain with award-winning magician Vinny DePonto, as he unmasks the motives of the best liars and reveals why you're one of them."

"NYC cult-cabaret phenomenons Mel & El make a triumphant return to the Ars Nova stage for one night only! Debuting heartfelt new songs like 'Let's Not Be Poor Anymore' and 'My Man is Just the Right Amount of Gay,' the ladies bring their comedic musical stylings home to Hell's Kitchen. Catch them quick, before El goes into labor."

"What is Showgasm, you ask? It's Elizabeth Berkley's final callback for 'Showgirls,' the 'Sex and the City' tour bus speeding down the freeway, the eternal body roll. Or more simply put, a raucous variety show with performances ranging from hilarious to titillating to utterly inappropriate. Come. You've never looked better!"
