VINEYARD VOICES - the popular Monday night series of panels lead by theater professionals from The Vineyard - will continue this spring with DEVELOPING A MUSICAL on Monday, April 12; THE TV/THEATRE CONNECTION on Monday, May 10; and ALBEE & ENO on Monday, June 7 - all at the Vineyard (108 East 15th Street) in Manhattan.
VINEYARD VOICES offers an opportunity for audiences and artists to go behind-the-scenes and hear theatre professionals share insightful and colorful anecdotes about working in the theatre and creating for the stage and beyond.
How does a musical get to the stage? That question sparks the next VINEYARD VOICES panel - DEVELOPING A NEW MUSICAL on Monday, April 12 at 7:00pm. Among the panelists who will discuss this are: the collaborative team behind THE BURNT PART BOYS (Mariana Elder,
Chris Miller and
Nathan Tysen); Tony Nominee
David Thompson (THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS, STEEL PIER); Tony Nominee
Hunter Bell ([title of show]); and Robin Goldwasser & Julia Greenberg (co-authors of PEOPLE ARE WRONG).
From the first idea to the first performance, hear the fascinating stories behind some of
