Festival Alumni to be Featured in New 54 Below Concert Series

54 Below‘s Jennifer Ashley Tepper announced in an interview with Playbill.com that “Broadway’s Living Room” will be launching a new series next year called New Musicals at 54: A Showcase of Our Own. “The idea is to present ten new musicals that haven’t been produced in New York, yet that are things you might have seen an out-of-town tryout of or a workshop of,” said Tepper. No word yet on what shows will be featured, but the initial list of writers announced includes several Festival alumni: Kirsten Childs (The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds her Chameleon Skin, Festival 1998), Adam Gwon (Ordinary Days, Festival 2008), Joe Iconis (Bloodsong of Love, Festival 2011), and Georgia Stitt (Big Red Sun, Festival 2010).
We can’t wait to see what Jen and our talented alumni have to show us!

Musical Ordinary Days Gets Orchestration for Adirondack Run

Audiences will be hearing the show’s first-ever orchestration, funded in part by the National Fund for New Musicals. Fleischer stated, “ATF has always been committed to developing new works for the theatre. The next logical step in the development of Ordinary Days was to provide Adam Gwon with a fuller orchestra. Previous performances have only utilized a piano for accompaniment. The additional funding allowed ATF to hire an orchestrator to work with Adam on expanding the musical scope of the piece.”
Fleischer discovered Ordinary Days at the National Alliance for Musical Theatre’s annual Festival of New Musicals in New York City.
