Kate Rockwell & Maya Days to Star in Reading of New Musical FOUNTAIN OF YOU at The Green Room 42

The Green Room 42 will present a special concert reading of the new musical, Fountain of You, on Monday May 23 at 9:30 PM. Fountain of You features book and lyrics by Tasha Gordon-Solmon and music by Faye Chiao, and stars Kate Rockwell (Mean Girls, Bring it On The Musical) and Maya Days (Rent, Aida). The show is an irreverent, feminist musical satirizing our preoccupation with youth and beauty, and the patriarchal system underlying it all. When a thirty-something actress is suddenly aged out of the industry, she undergoes an unconventional spa procedure in the hopes of getting her old life back. But it sets her on a whole new path to achieve true power and equality... at a cost. Tickets are available HERE.

The cast also features Chris Collins-Pisano, Caitlin Ort, Maria Sylvia Norris, and Allie Re. The piece is directed by Chloe Treat, with musical direction Or Matias.

Fountain of You will be presented on Monday, May 23 at 9:30 PM. Tickets are $15-49 at the door or online at The Green Room 42. Livestream tickets are also available. For additional information visit: www.facebook.com/FountainofYouMusical

Chloe Treat (Director) is a New York-based director and choreographer. Born and raised in the great, if not wildly problematic state of Texas; she directs and choreographs big ass musicals. Some of the things she cares about, in no particular order, are: improving the representation of women on stage and in creative teams, breaking cycles of abuse in theater training, dream ballets, golden age musicals, and country music! She's also worked on a lot of impressive shows but reading a list is boring. If you're really dying to know about her many notable achievements, they are listed on her website: www.chloe-treat.com.
