The Songbook series — presented by Arts and Artists at St. Paul's — will continue March 29 in the Bruno Walter Auditorium at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts in Manhattan.

Hosted by John Znidarsic and produced by Erica Ruff, the free evening will celebrate the work of composer Nick Blaemire. Show time is 6 PM.

Daniel Goldstein will direct a cast that includes Molly Hager (Young Hearts Unlimited), David Hull (Calvin Berger, Wicked, A Chorus Line), Preston Sadleir (Give It Up, Mrs. Sharp) and Phoebe Strole (Spring Awakening). Jesse Vargas is musical director.

Nick Blaemire co-wrote the short-lived Broadway musical Glory Days. He is currently at work on a new original musical with bookwriter Paul Downs Colaizzo; entitled Finding Robert Hutchens, the musical was commissioned by Broadway Across America.
