Rock & Roll Love Story THE CONSEQUENCES Opens 8/22 During undergroundzero Fest At PS122
By: Gabrielle Sierra Jul. 08, 2009
Ripped apart when they were teenagers, ten years later, Elle & Jeremy are thrust into each other's lives again and forced to discover if maybe they're meant to be together after all. THE CONSEQUENCES is a bittersweet rock and roll love story about the road not taken, dreams not followed, and whether you can start over again.
This workshop of THE CONSEQUENCES is the first collaboration between terraNOVA Collective and the Pace Musical Theater Program, integrating terraNOVA's method of script development with Pace's interest in developing and exposing students to new work. The piece will be directed by the director of Pace's Musical Theater Program, Amy Rogers, and features Emily Stockdale and Ari Fife, both part of the Pace Program. Jaimie Mayer, Managing Director of terraNOVA Collective, produces.
THE CONSEQUENCES will play as part of the undergroundzero festival at Performance Space 122 (150 First Avenue at East 9th Street), July 22 at 7pm, July 23 at 9pm, July 24 at 7pm, July 25 at 9pm, and July 26 at 2pm. Tickets ($15) are available online at www.ps122.org or by calling 212-352-3101.

PACE MUSICAL THEATER PROGRAM, a part of the Performing Arts Department at Pace University, began with six majors in 2002, and has grown to 100 majors in just six years. In 2006, Pace became only the second school in New York City to offer a BFA in Musical Theater. The Pace New Musicals Program was developed in 2007 to nurture the creation of new musical theater in New York City, while at the same time providing an invaluable educational opportunity for students to work directly with top professionals in the field. Perhaps most importantly, the program allows students to experiment with new, untested works without precedent-setting productions, a rare opportunity in theater education.
