The Water Dream/Clear Double Bill Concert Runs In Bklyn; Rapp To Lead

THE WATER DREAM is a new musical featuring whale puppets and an aquarium of real water. It's the story of an overly critical mythologist who, through facing loss and falling in love, becomes an artist: the author of an awe-inspiring myth.

The cast will feature: Anthony Rapp (Broadway: Rent), Karmine Alers (Broadway: Rent), Shawn Cody (Book, Music, Lyrics), Emily Otto (Joe's Pub: Shells), Adam Kern (T.S. Eliot Fellow- Old Vic, London), Cheo Bourne (NYMF: Shine) Doug Chapman (American Rep) with Catherine Hesse, Alisa Ledyard, Alana Rader, Lauren Champlin, and Jonathan Gregg.

THE WATER DREAM: winner of the Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship Award in Playwriting, the Citation from Governor Deval Patrick for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts and was developed at Shetler Studios, The Arthur Seelen Theater at the Drama Book Shop, Actors Shakespeare Project, and The Bushwick Starr.

CLEAR is based on Paul Oakley Stovall's real-life transition from an actor and retail clerk to a member of a President Obama's Advance Team.

CLEAR will feature cast members RYan Link (Broadway: Wonderland, Hair, Rent. National Tour: Aida) with Brad Simmons, John Patrick Walker, Celisse Henderson, and Alexis Hightower
CLEAR was developed at the National Music Theater Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, Joe's Pub, About Face Theatre XYZ Festival, and recently received its New York Workshop Debut at Dixon Place.
