Three one-night-only performances featuring former Ars Nova artists will be part of the Stars Nova Series benefiting the Off-Broadway company that is led by Founding Artistic Director Jason Eagan.

The series will launch May 12 at 7 PM with J@cuzz!, reuniting the original cast of Ars Nova’s 2014 hit production by The Debate Society. Written by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen, the reading will feature co-creators Bos and Thureen, Peter Friedman, Chris Lowell, and special guest Michael Cyril Creighton. Oliver Butler returns to direct.

The Stars Nova Songbook Session, set for May 19 at 7 PM, is inviting a mix of Broadway and Off-Broadway favorites to reach into the vault of Ars Nova’s musical history and take the stage with some of their favorite songs. The evening will feature the work of Ars Nova composers César Alvarez (FUTURITY), The Bengsons (Hundred Days), Michael R. Jackson (A Strange Loop), and Daniel Zaitchik (Darling Grenadine), with performances from these composers and artists including Stephanie Hsu (Be More Chill).

The series will conclude June 2 at 7 PM with September L. Davis: The Apology Tour. Ana Gasteyer (Once Upon a Mattress) will return to the Ars Nova stage as her alter-ego September L. Davis. Written by Gasteyer and Steven Cragg, the show features Gasteyer's cadre of comedy friends, including Phillip Taratula (And Just Like That).

Ars Nova has been honored with a Lucille Lortel Award, an Obie Award, and a Special Citation from the New York Drama Critics’ Circle, all for the sustained quality and commitment to the development and production of new work.

Ars Nova is located at 511 West 54th Street in Manhattan. For tickets, visit ArsNovanyc.com.
