You are about to witness the premiere performance of 8 original musicals. Each show has been given a short window in which they will give you a taste of what their show is and what it one day could become. This process has been a sheer delight and we are so glad to have been able to bring these works to the public. All of our creatives and their casts have been working tirelessly to bring you what you see tonight, please show them all the love and appreciation they deserve as they share with you these amazing shows. We are so thankful that they have let us in on what they’ve been working on, and they have been kind enough to let you in too. We are indebted to so many people who have helped us along the way. Will Hannagan gave our creatives an amazing mentorship opportunity and the insights and advice he offered was invaluable. James McKinnon deserves all the praise and admiration that goes his way; his tireless work as stage manager and technical director has made this whole process run so smoothly. When the going was rough and the job list soared, we had some amazing orchestrators who stepped in to pick up the slack and for that we would love to thank David Barrell, Max McConnell, and Lachie Bagnara for their work. Finally, massive congratulations are due to Mel O’Brien who has poured everything into this project – she has been the heartbeat of this show and her work doesn’t go unnoticed.
