With a full orchestra led by Broadway musical supervisor and conductor Kevin Stites and lighting & sound design by Matt Berman, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to support this worthy company as they head into the future. To see established Broadway stars and the young members of NAAP "side-by-side" is sure to be a night to remember.
