Musicals in the Making
TRIANGLE became the second "pilot" of our Musicals in the Making Festival when we presented the reading of this fun new musical to a packed house at Manhattan Theatre Club Studios in New York City on June 19th at 7PM. A Q&A took place after the reading and the creative team received some great support and constructive feedback. We are grateful to the Independence Community Foundation for their support. Highlights of the evening came with stellar performances from Broadway's own Ann Crumb and Grant Norman. Ann was recently nominated for a Tony Award for the title roll in Anna Karenina and Grant is currently playing Gaston in the Broadway smash Beauty and the Beast.
