Marymount Manhattan College "MMC ROCKS!"

This semester Damn The Light Productions LLC has piloted a brand new Rock/ Pop Vocal Lab for the Marymount Manhattan Theatre Arts program funded through the Lerner and Lowe Foundation. Through this master class, students have learned the history and progression of Pop, Rock and R&B ranging from the 1950s through today's popular artists.

Today, it is imperative not only for theatre artists to have a firm grasp on each genre of Pop/ Rock, but approach their work fearlessly. In MMC Rock's "The is How We Duet."
