Glenn Seven Allen, Wilson Bridges & More to Star in York's A TIME FOR SINGING as Part of Musicals In Mufti

The York Theatre Company, dedicated to the development of new musicals and preserving musical gems from the past, continues the Fall 2014 Musicals in Mufti Series with A Time for Singing, with book and lyrics by Gerald Freedman and John Morris, and music by John Morris, based on the novel "How Green Was My Valley" by Richard Llewellyn.

Directed by Michael Montel, with music direction by is Dale Rieling, the 14-member cast features Glenn Seven Allen, Wilson Bridges, Dylan Boyd, Preston Truman Boyd, Madeleine Doherty, Steve French, Ben Gunderson, Gus Halper, Joe Kolinski, Sara Killough, Analisa Leaming, Barbara Marineau, Brian Murray, and Gordon Stanley. This is Mr. Montel's 20th production for the Mufti series.

A Time for Singing, based on the novel "How Green Was My Valley" by Richard Llewellyn, examines the lives and loves of the citizens of a South Wales mining town. Virtually unheard since its brief Broadway run during a New York newspaper strike in 1966, the show is a tapestry of choral riches and operatic grandeur with book and lyrics by Gerald Freedman and John Morris and music by Mr. Morris.

The acclaimed Musicals in Mufti series expands to a new two-week performance schedule for the first three concert readings, this season. The limited engagement of A Time for Singing will play 10 performances only October 25, 2014 - November 2, 2014 at The York Theatre Company at Saint Peter's (Entrance on East 54th Street, just east of Lexington Avenue).

The York Theatre Company's acclaimed Musicals in Mufti series of musical theatre gems, in a simply-staged, book-in-hand concert format, marks its twentieth historic year with the celebration of its 100th presentation of shows from the past.
