David Schweizer will direct the March 17 and 31 concerts, which will feature the talents of Mark Jacoby, Michael Marcotte, Kate Rockwell and Lynne Wintersteller. Show time each night is 9:30 PM. Up features music by Andrew Gerle and lyrics by Gerle, Eddie Sugarman and Maryrose Wood. The revue is described as such: "An injured baseball player imagines getting back to the big leagues . . . A girl finds the courage to be herself on a reality TV show . . . A recording superstar confronts the loneliness of the spotlight . . . A woman from a poor neighborhood remembers the public library that fueled her dreams and changed her life."

Composer-lyricist Gerle is a three-time recipient of the Richard Rodgers Award (with Maryrose Wood). He and lyricist Sugarman were awarded a 2006 Jonathan Larson Award for Meet John Doe, which made its world premiere last season at Ford's Theatre in Washington, DC.
