marry harry
On December 4th 2009 we did a table reading of the first draft of our new musical
MARRY HARRY. The book is by Jennifer Robbins, the reading was directed by
Sheryl Kaller, Musical Directed by Fred Lassen, and our performers were a
stellar group of Broadway actors – Fred Applegate, P.J. Benjamin, Donna
Lynne Champlin, Harris Doran, Francis Jue, Isabel Keating, Jill Paice,
Michele Ragusa, Tim Shew, Mariand Torres, and Elisa Van Duyne.
we will keep you informed as the musical move forward!
what we’re made of (1979)
This is us 30 years ago. We’re posting this news to invite you to save the date for a very special performance of work we created in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s that will be presented as part of Philadelphia Dance Projects the last weekend of February. We are re-creating some of our performance art duets plus What We’re Made Of – a group piece we originally performed with 2 Men Dancing (our Ggay Men’s Dance/Theatre/Music Collective with choreographer Ishmael Houston-Jones). We fifty-something originators are setting these works on a very talented group of twenty-something performers – Greg Holt, John Luna, Scott McPheeters and William Robinson. The info is below – we hope you will join us!
