ARCI'S PLACE PRESENTS PRISCILLA LOPEZ & PAIGE PRICE

ARCI'S PLACE (450 Park Avenue South, NYC - 212-532-4370 - http://www.arcisplace.com/) continues its ""Broadway Series" by presenting Broadway stars making rare or debut cabaret appearances. This allows audiences an opportunity to see their favorite Broadway stars in a more intimate setting. Most recently Donna McKechnie, Sam Harris and Karen Mason enjoyed successful engagements there. Beginning on December 11th, Priscilla Lopez, the original Morales in the Broadway production of "A Chorus Line," debuts a new cabaret act. "What I Did For Love" will showcase Ms. Lopez's unique talent with songs ranging from jazz and pop standards to the songs from "A Chorus Line" with which she will always be associated -- "Nothing" and the dancers' anthem, "What I Did For Love." Fellow Chorus Line alum Thommie Walsh directs and Seth Rudetsky serves as Musical Director.

On December 18th, Arci's Place welcomes Paige Price ("Saturday Night Fever") who will present her show "The eX-Files." Ms. Price calls her show a "tongue-in-cheek hour that documents, skewers and ironically laments the true (and truly unbelievable) love and lust stores of its author." Through a pastiche of stand-up, blues and rock & roll, our seemingly ingenuie-ish heroine takes us though hilarious nightmares, featuring characters from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and finally, New York City. Recounted from a decidedly female perspective, but by no means a harangue, "The eX-Files" may render the phrase Date-From-Hell obsolete! Peter Flynn directs and Ms. Price is supported by the Dave Keyes Band, original members of the Broadway company of Smokey Joe's Cafœ.

Priscilla Lopez in "What I Did For Love" will play Tuesday through Thursday at 7:00 pm and Friday and Saturday at 11:00 pm. (December 11th - December 15th). Paige Price in The eX-Files" will play Tuesday through Thursday at 7:00 pm and Friday and Saturday at 11:00 pm (December 18th - December 22nd). Tickets to the shows are $30 with a $15 food/drink minimum. Reservations are strongly suggested.
