A. . .My Name Is Still Alice

Synopsis:
A musical revue with a feminist slant; sequel to A. . .My Name Is Alice. Dan's contributions are the sketches: the GROUP: in the conservative near-future, when abortion is illegal, four very pregnant women find themselves arguing with the Matron in the David Souter Home for Unwed Mothers. GROSS ANATOMY LECTURE: at the First Women's Medical School, a Professor lectures the students about the problems women physicians may encounter with male patients. COVER-UPS #1, 2, and 3 (the show's running gag): a woman lets the audience in on a top-secret new makeup which can make anyone - even a housewife from LaJolla - look like Madonna, Queen Elizabeth, or the Pope.

Notes:
a. . .My Name Is Still Alice premiered At the Old Globe in San Diego, moved to Second Stage in New York, And has since been produced Around the United States And Canada. Dan Berkowitz is co-author; other contributors include Stephen Schwartz, Carol Hall, Michael John LaChiusa, Amanda McBroom, And David Zippel.

Woman In White, The
A handsome young man is stranded at a remote railway cutting. Out of the darkness looms a woman, a mysterious figure dressed in white, who burns to tell a chilling secret. Two sisters find themselves snared in a web of betrayal and greed, the victims of a flawless crime. Unprotected in a man's world, they will need all their resourcefulness and courage to outwit a villain of overpowering charisma and ingenuity. But they can also rely on the guiding hand of love.
