		<description><![CDATA[UrbanArias&#8217; new production of Photo-Op by Conrad Cummings and James Siena opens this weekend.  Photo-Op is a 60-minute opera about the absurdity of modern presidential politics. All of the obligatory campaign events are included: stump speeches, rope lines, debates, sound bites, and, of course, photo-ops reduced to the absurd &#8211; taking familiar “politician-speak” and turning it [...]]]></description>

Although we at the UrbanArias Corporate Offices kept power throughout, our internet inexplicably went down on Tuesday . . . right as I was about to write an eblast about our very exciting upcoming performances.

I am also astounded by the hard work, dedication and far-thinking approach of my colleague (and, full disclosure) dear friend Bob Wood.

It&#8217;s about our upcoming premiere, Positions 1956 by Michael Korie and Conrad Cummings. Have a look! It&#8217;s a perfect premiere for us: somewhat subversive and boundary-pushing, but still tasteful. Have a look: click here.]]></description>
