A reading of WE FOXES, a new musical by Ryan Scott Oliver - whose, JASPER IN DEADLAND recently concluded a sold-out Off-Broadway run - will be held on Monday, May 5th at the Experimental Theatre on the San Diego State University campus at 7:30pm.
The MFA Musical Theatre Program invited Oliver to be a composer-in-residence April 28th - May 7th. He has worked with staff from the Old Globe and the current MFA Musical Theatre students as well as selected other professionals and alumni for the upcoming reading. WE FOXES features direction by Paula Kalustian and music direction by Robert Meffe. The cast includes Ashlee Espinosa, Roxana Carrasco, Brandon Joel Maier, Cody Walker, Sasha Weiss, Kimberly Doreen Burns, Jill Gorrie, Tim Espinosa, Sharon Wheatley, Debra Wanger, Valerie Walker, Marina Inserra, Jon Meader, & Shaun Tuazon. Set in 1945 Missouri, the Southern Gothic musical tells the story of Willa, a tough, unmannered orphan adopted by the wife of the Sheriff and the bloody domestic war that ensues between them when Willa uncovers the secrets lurking beneath the floorboards. It is the story of intense human struggle, deliverance, and salvation that can only be found from within.Videos
