FREDERICK, Md., Aug. 1, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Phenomenology, Inc., an innovative production model in the performing arts, announced it has secured \u201cSopranos\u201d star Jamie-Lynn Sigler to lead a powerful cast in the staged reading of a new play for MANHATTANonPATRICK at the Weinberg Center for the Arts in suburban Washington D.C. on September 27.<\/p>\n

\"Jamie-Lynn
\nWell known for her work in \u201cBeauty and the Beast\u201d on Broadway, HBO\u2019s \u201cEntourage\u201d and her unforgettable role as Meadow Soprano in HBO\u2019s ground-breaking television series \u201cThe Sopranos,\u201d Sigler will lead a four person cast as a cutthroat attorney in \u201cSecond Derivative,\u201d a full-length crime drama previously workshopped with the Maryland Ensemble Theatre and Off-Broadway with The Actors Company Theatre in 2016. The play was workshopped with both MET and TACT under a previous working title and Sigler was not a part of either project.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to have Jamie join us for this performance,\u201d says Jeffery Keilholtz, Artistic Director & CEO of Phenomenology, and also \u201cSecond Derivative\u201d playwright. \u201cMANHATTANonPATRICK is the flagship theatre program for Phenomenology, specializing in the production of high-value limited engagement stage performances, with the purpose of identifying high-potential regional performers and technicians and giving them unique opportunities to showcase their gifts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Manhattan
\nIn its inaugural outing, MANHATTANonPATRICK will premiere a dynamic staged reading of \u201cSecond Derivative\u201d for one night only at the historic Weinberg Center for the Arts \u2014 on Patrick Street, in Frederick, Maryland. The cast also includes Keilholtz, himself a Frederick native, along with Bru Ajueyitsi and Amanda Shafer. Mr. Ajueyitsi is from Washington D.C. and Ms. Shafer is from Frederick.<\/p>\n

Critically-acclaimed actress, Ashlie Atkinson, of Spike Lee\u2019s Oscar-winning film, \u201cBLACKkKLANSMAN,\u201d and Broadway\u2019s, \u201cThe Ritz,\u201d is attached to direct.<\/p>\n

The evening will feature a red carpet reception, performance and post-show Q&A. Admission to the after party with cast members and the director is also available to a limited number of ticket buyers at an additional cost.<\/p>\n
