Goodspeed's
Executive Director Michael Gennaro explained, "Our new musical process at The
Terris has been redesigned and will be relaunched as 'The Worklight Series'. In
our first season, we will develop three musicals and present them to our
audience as staged readings." He continued, "Audiences will still experience
great stories and music, but since the shows will be more actively in progress,
the performances will look different - focusing not on costumes, scenery or
props -- but the musical on the page, often times with book-in-hand."
Closing out this first season will be
Ghost Brothers of Darkland County which features a Book by Stephen King and Music and Lyrics by John Mellencamp (October 21 - November
.
