Februrary House!
Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 1:36AM Next week I will begin my first new assignment of 2012! I have been asked to Assistant Direct a new musical called February House. It is a world premier with Music and Lyrics by Gabriel Kahane, Book by Seth Bockley and Directed by Davis McCallum. It will rehearse and perform at Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, CT and is also being Co-Produced with the Public Theater in NYC.
Below is a synopsis of the story:
"Bringing together some of the greatest and most colorful minds of a generation (W.H. Auden, Carson McCullers, Benjamin Britten, and Gypsy Rose Lee) George Davis tries to create his own utopia in a small house in Brooklyn in the 1940s. The artists discover new ideas exploding at every turn as they find love, friendship and their own artistic voices in a time of war. Written by up-and-coming composer Gabriel Kahane, the exciting score mixes elements of classical operetta, jazz, and musical comedy with modern folk-pop."
I'm very excited to be a part of this project and looking forward to the adventure of it all!
