Eight hot new Off-Broadway shows are set to open this month, including several new musicals, a comedy about sex-crazed seniors, a free show about American government for kids, the return of a hit revue celebrating Irish pride, the the Off-Broadway premiere of a hit of the 2009 Fringe Festival, and a couple of bold new plays: one celebrating a meeting of legendary minds, one depicting a pre-wedding meltdown.

	BACHELORETTE On the eve of her wedding, Becky has arranged the perfect bachelorette celebration — but after two party crashers, one manipulative maid of honor and a bathtub of booze, things don’t go according to plan. A brutally comic look at friendship and betrayal on the way to the altar. Second Stage Theatre at McGinn/Cazale Theatre. Previews begin July 12, opens July 26.
	FALLING FOR EVE The new musical FALLING FOR EVE offers a second look at the world's first love story. Creation is going perfectly.

How exactly they'll get together to create the human race is anybody's guess. FALLING FOR EVE is a fresh and unconventional retelling of the most famous romance of all time, filled with unexpected twists and turns as Eve and Adam realize that "paradise" may not be a place after all!

	FREUD'S LAST SESSION FREUD'S LAST SESSION centers on legendary psychiatrist Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites a young, rising academic star, C.S. Lewis, to his home in London. Lewis, expecting to be called on the carpet for satirizing Freud in a recent book, soon realizes Freud has a much more significant agenda. On the day England enters World War II, Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex and the meaning of life - only two weeks before Freud chooses to take his own. Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater at the Westside YMCA. Previews begin July 9, opens July 22.
	I'LL BE DAMNED I’LL BE DAMNED is the story of a friendless, comic-book-loving homeschooler named Louis who receives a seemingly irresistible offer from Satan.

McCourt’s razor sharp wit, coupled with his trademark bitter irony, and his boundless love for the Irish People are all underscored by glorious music extending all the way from the auld Irish folk ballades, through George M.
