IN THE WORKS Returns to The Duplex Cabaret Theatre Sept 16th

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 Sept 16th at 9:30pm features the works of composers: Selda Sahin & Derek Gregor, Theresa Sareo & Michael Holland, and Mark Sonnenblick. Hosted by: Thomas Honeck.

THERESA SAREO is a singer/songwriter/trauma survivor, has a powerful story to tell; one that affirms the saving power of following your dreams. After surviving a horrible accident on a Manhattan street corner that claimed the loss of her entire right leg, Theresa's courageous dedication to her recovery has inspired the amazing journey of her life and career. She has since become an in-demand motivational performer for audiences throughout the educational, medical, corporate, entertainment, political and military communities. Her music is often deeply personal and emotionally reflective.

Theresa was awarded the Friends of the United Nations' "2012 Human Rights Award for Courage and Leadership for Empowering and Enabling the Disabled" in New York. She's spoken and performed around the world for audiences including University students, medical communities and wounded military service members. She proudly made history in becoming the first civilian performer to sing the National Anthem at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington D.C., and also the first to perform at the U.S. Army's Warrior Transition Units European Command, through their Department of Ministries.

Michael Holland is a composer/lyricist/orchestrator/music director/guitarist/ keyboardist/singer - basically, when the phone rings, he says yes.
