Discussion with new Board potentials about what should constitute our Board.

Bring list of titles for possible reading series.

Reading #1:
Prior to Jan 11 (start of B&B rehearsals); - that really means week of January 4 – maybe Friday, January 8?  Show would need to be Oklahoma in Wisconsin or Caroline & George (or maybe Invisible?) – something we could just brush up in one rehearsal)

Reading #2:
then one between Feb. 5 (opening of B&B) and March 21 (rehearsals for Full Monty)
(week of Feb 8/15/22/29  March 7/14)

Reading #3:
between April 15 (opening of B&B); and June 20 (rehearsals for Hello Dolly)
(week of April 18/ week of Ap 25 is 1st Assessment; week of May 2 / 9 - week of May 16 is 2nd Assessment; week of May 23; (week of May 30 starts final 15MM rehearsals)

Hello Dolly opens July 15 and closes Aug 7

T.J. is not directing Hello Dolly so is open to co-directing INVISIBLE for a July 22 opening.se promised T.J. script and demos of Invisible; plus any footage from our grant application.  We also need to consider the Equity issues of Equity thinking 3DT is using this partnership to get cheap development (they were already contacted about the STAGES readings)

Presentation of Unspoken.

Rehearsal for CAROLINE AND GEORGE by Michael Finke

Join NMI's writers, actors, directors, music directors -- as we attend BREAKING THROUGH, a world premiere musical, debuting at the Pasadena Playhouse.  We've arranged for a talk-back afterwards with some of the Playhouse's creatives, so you can ask questions and share your opinions about the show.  We've arranged for a limited number of $77 tickets...for a special NMI-insider rate of $45.  (You're welcome.)  (Plus, a percentage of your ticket price goes back to NMI, so you're helping us as well as supporting Breaking Through.)

Breaking Through is told through the eyes of a young, talented singer/songwriter, as she tries to navigate the treacherous shark-filled waters of the music business. She embarks on a compelling journey to find her way back to her authentic self and in the process rediscovers the music that truly makes her alive.  Breaking Through features a score by Emmy award-winning songwriter and producer Cliff Downs (“The Voice,” “American Idol,”), and Katie Kahanovitz (Girls Night Out Pop Radio), with a book by Kirsten Guenther (Mrs. Sharp, 2008 Richard Rodgers Award-winner; the upcoming Benny and Joon).

Breaking Through originated as a HOTHOUSE staged reading at The Pasadena Playhouse. Launched in 2005, HOTHOUSE is the signature new play development program at  The Pasadena Playhouse.

Join us on November 10th as we celebrate another new musical premiering in Los Angeles!

Tickets go on sale October 18th through the Pasadena Playhouse's website:  http://www.pasadenaplayhouse.org/box-office/mainstage/breaking-through.html

Use promo code NMI45 to get the insider rate.

This exciting annual event showcases musicals we’ve been developing all season. Highlights THIS year will be from musicals we’ve been developing with Deaf West Theatre, McCoy Rigby Productions, Northern Sky Theatre, the Loft Ensemble, as well as other commercial projects, and selections from our New Voices Project (composers under the age of 26!).  This season has included musicals such as:  Invisible; Darby O’Gill and the Leprechaun Queen; Josephine Tonight (The Josephine Baker Story); Wanting Miss Julie; Soul of Darkness; Oklahoma in Wisconsin; and a bunch of others!

Rehearsal

Sandbox Meeting #5: Informal table reading of current draft. Dolores will round up readers and maybe invite some other guests.

The Loft Ensemble is excited to announce the world premiere of the new musical Wanting Miss Julie. The show (a loose adaptation of August Strindberg's famous Miss Julie) is a dark drama about temptation, isolation, and the consequences of giving in to the forbidden.

The musical's book is written by John Sparks, with lyrics by Patricia Zehentmayr, and music by Jake Anthony. It will be directed by Loft Ensemble member Kevin Meoak, with music direction by Jake Anthony, and choreography by April Sheets. Cast members include Michael Armstrong Barr, Sarah Claspell, Alexis DeDonato, Corinne DeVries, Matthew Emerick, Katie Kitani, Lindsey Newell, Joshua Olkowski, Bart Tangredi, and Allison Williams.

Loft Ensemble has been producing work in downtown Los Angeles in the Arts District since 2007, and is quickly earning a reputation for daring creativity. They were recognized with their first Ovation Awards in 2015 and have a powerful season lined up for 2016. It has long been an ambition of theirs to produce a world premiere musical for their stage.

Note: The entrance to the Loft Ensemble is actually located on Vignes between 1st and 2nd St. The best street parking is often found just east of 1st street off Vignes (near OSSO)​.

Attend this special performance of the new musical Wanting Miss Julie at the Loft Ensemble, and a portion of the cost of your ticket will go into John Sparks' 75th Birthday Fundraising Campaign.

Concert Reading of INVISIBLE

(Cast called at Colony Theatre at 4pm; Presentation begins at 7:30pm)

a Concert Reading of the new musical by David Hollingsworth and David Orris

INVISIBLE is a John-Hughes-esque musical theatre adaptation of the HG Wells classic The Invisible Man with a totally original pop/rock score that takes great joy in paying homage to popular music and popular cultural tropes of the era. The show ultimately endeavors to physically and figuratively bring the audience into their own hallowed high school hallways via the heightened and dangerous halls of Springborough High School. Invisible lives in the fairly self-concerned and narcissistic year of 1988, because at its core, it is a show about what it means to cut away all of the cultural and social melodrama and truly see another human being.

for tickets to the presentation at 3D Theatricals, please choose the event on Tuesday, June 7.

Odysseus reappears after 15 years at war to find that something is rotten in Ithaca, New York.

 

Curses!

Book and Lyrics by Harriet Belkin, Music by Sandy Shanin

Based on a short story by Norman Belkin

Gittel curses everyone who irritates her - and her curses come true!

“Curses” is a hilarious musical fable about the shocking things that befall the residents of Retchitza, a Russian Shtetl in 1900 when Gittle arrives in town and curses everyone who irritates her. She was imported to marry an uneducated slob of a wagon driver. You might curse too if you had to marry him. But she’s no bargain either.
