Bobby Cronin's DAYBREAK to Open in Both London and NJ in June 2012

More people die by suicide at the Golden Gate Bridge than at any other site in the world. What would cause someone to contemplate jumping from its span or stopping someone from doing so? DAYBREAK is a non-traditional, coming-of-age musical journey, centered on the dark places people go when they feel lost, scared, broken, or alone. Follow two couples as we explore the mysteries that bind them, their relationships, family ties, expectations, dreams, patience and courage.

The award-winning musical DAYBREAK will open at the Tristan Bates Theatre in London's Covent Gardens 5th June, running through June 30th, directed by Hayley Cusick, produced by the award-winning Notion Theatre Company.

DAYBREAK will also open in Wayne, NJ at the William Patterson University campus on June 7th, running through June 24, as the winner of the 2011 NJ Playwrights Contest. Edward Matthews, dir.; Warren Helms & Charles Santoro, music dir.
