One for My Baby, performing March 14-23, 2025, at El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood, will set 24 Arlen songs (including "Blues in the Night," "The Man That Got Away," "Stormy Weather," "Get Happy," and more) to a film-noir-style tale centered around a 1940s nightclub singer with connections to the criminal underworld. ARTCO co-founders Scott Thompson and Fred Barton have written the book. Thompson will direct and choreograph, and Barton will provide arrangements and music direction. Lana Gordon (Hadestown) and Luba Mason (Jekyll & Hyde) will lead the company, with additional casting to be announced.

Moving into the fall, the company will stage a new production of Sondheim and Arthur LaurentsAnyone Can Whistle, performing October 17-26. Broadway and West End star Caroline O'Connor will star as Cora Hoover Hooper, the role created in the cult musical's first production by Angela Lansbury. Further casting and creative team members are to be announced.

Tickets are available for both productions via season subscriptions at ElPortalTheatre.com.
