Alan Ostroff to Helm Infinity Theatre Company Productions During 2016-17 Season

Infinity Theatre Company has officially announced Directors for its 2016 season.

Fresh off producing the critically acclaimed Broadway Revival of DAMES AT SEA, and after six years of producing Infinity Theatre shows, Co-Producing Artistic Director Alan Ostroff will make his mainstage directing debut, with ALMOST HEAVEN: SONGS OF JOHN DENVER and co-directing MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET.

"ALMOST HEAVEN and MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET will both rock Annapolis this summer, bringing five iconic chapters of popular American music from the 1950's to the 1980's. Infinity Theatre not only seeks to please our audience with songs that define their lives, we also aspire to transform the listener's experience of these songs. With these two "jukebox musicals," beloved music is placed within two unique stories, performed by a tremendous company of actor/singer/instrumentalists who will electrify you!" said Alan Ostroff.

Tommy Iafrate returns to Infinity after his innovative and wildly popular staging of last summer's new musical JACK VS. RAPUNZEL. This year, Tommy will be co-directing MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET and directing our Theatre For Young Audiences Show, ELEPHANT & PIGGIE'S "WE ARE IN A PLAY!"
