On Monday, December 14th, there will be a private reading of the new rock musical, The Intern with book and lyrics by Freddy Wexler and music by Wexler, Arthur Lafrentz Bacon, and others. The reading features vocal direction by Aaron Berk and is directed by Jamie McGonnigal. The cast includes Matt Doyle, Romelda Benjamin, Gina Milo, Aaron Berk, Jamie McGonnigal, Anderson Lim, Mara Kaye, Dana Musgrove, Pilin Broden, Natalie Bradshaw, Bobby List, and Mike Harrison. It's 2010. All that remains of the record industry is the World Wide Record Company, a wasteland of uninspired sycophants.

Afloat in this sea of garbage, Robert Donovan is an intern who dreams of becoming a rock star. The Intern tells his story: a story of the turbulent rise of a self-made rocker, the woman who wins his heart, and the backstabbing suits who try to bring them down. Hearts are broken, dreams come true, and the music rocks... Freddy Wexler is an English major at the University of Pennsylvania. Formerly signed to Virgin Records, Freddy is a prominent songwriter signed to EMI Music Publishing. His songs have appeared on countless records and television shows, such as "Dancing with the Stars" and "The
Bachelorette." As an artist, he has toured with such acts as Maroon 5, Simple Plan, Katy, Perry, The New Temptations, Good Charlotte, and Colbie Caillet, and his songs have charted Top 30 on both terrestrial and satellite radio. Together, the writers of The Intern have written for and/or produced Celine Dion, Marc Anthony, Anastasia, Brittany Spears, , Avril Levigne, Mandy Moore, Lee Ann Womack, Mya, LFO, Vitamin C, Marcy Playground, Joey Lawrence, Hall and Oates, Willa Ford, and Lee Ann Womack to name a few.
