The idea of Brooklyn Tavern Theater is to make original musical theater possible for artists and accessible to the local community.    For over three years now, we have been doing shows at  neighborhood bars and other alternative spaces in Brooklyn.  There are grants to apply for, projects and productions to organize....    


How can you help?    Would you like to be involved in a local theater production?.  We want to keep ticket prices affordable and keep the bar open to the local community.  We think we can bring in a certain amount per show, but we need to raise an equal amount from outside.  This is immersive theater in an intimate, friendly environment.  I believe there are businesses, community institutions and individuals who would like to get behind a project like this.  Help us find them!

Dan is also working on a revised version of "Ybor City" with bookwriter Anita Gonzalez.  A public reading is planned for late summer of 2023.  Dan collaborated with bookwriter and lyricist Lawrence Hermann on a short comedy musical, "Lovers On The Balcony" which will be presented at a show of new works from the Brooklyn Musical Theatre Workshop later this fall.
