2/4/2012 Mike Birbiglia’s My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend presented by LEO A Little Off Center In Mike Birbiglia's My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, Mike shares a lifetime of romantic blunders and miscues that most adults would spend a lifetime trying to forget. On this painfully honest journey, Birbiglia struggles to find reason in an area where it may be impossible to find – love. Winner of the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show, My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend was nominated for both the Drama Desk and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Solo Performance. The New York Times called the show “ridiculously enjoyable” and it was recognized as a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times, Time Out New York, and New York Magazine. The Brown Theatre, 315 W.

2/12/2012 Nellie McKay “I Want to Live!” presented by LEO A Little Off Center NYC singer/songwriter/actress Nellie McKay brings her latest project, “I Want to Live!” to Louisville. The New York Times calls “I Want to Live!” the “brilliant, zany, film-noir musical biography” of convicted murderess Barbara Graham, the third woman to die in the gas chamber at San Quentin. Praising McKay’s “virtually unlimited gifts as a singer, songwriter, actress, pianist, ukulele player, mimic, satirist, and comedian,” The New York Times reports “I Want to Live!” is much deeper than its surface might suggest, stating “in the most lighthearted way, the songs evoke a heartless environment of social injustice in which people who fall through the cracks are invisible to everyone else.” The Kentucky Center, Bomhard Theater, Louisville
