IN THE WORKS Comes to The Duplex Cabaret Theatre This Sunday

Honeck-Moss Productions is proud to present "In The Works." Now in it's 3rd Hit Season, this exciting series was conceived as an opportunity for composers to try out new work in front of an audience and see how it plays in a supportive environment. It is also an opportunity to create community among the composers and their performers.

This month, Sunday Dec 16th at 9:30pm features the works of composers: A.J. Freeman & Dimitri Landrain, Lauren Gundrum Brandon Lambert, and Patrick Thompson and Cal Silberstein.
