Music Theatre of Connecticut Presents Online Fundraising Event STAGE FRIGHT: AN INTERACTIVE MUSICAL THRILLER

Music Theatre of Connecticut (MTC), currently in its 33rd season, presents a virtual reading of a new play, Stage Fright: An Interactive Musical Thriller on Saturday, August 22nd at 8:00pm. All proceeds from the event go to supporting MTC and The Actor's Fund.
