GMTWP alums Hyeyoung Kim (Cycle 13) and Shoshana Greenberg (Cycle 16) presented a concert of their new musical DAYS OF RAGE at the beautiful GREEN ROOM 42 in October.
The show was part of the inaugural Sokoloff Arts Fellowship at Town Stages and was developed at a Two River Theatre Writers Retreat in Red Bank, New Jersey, and New York Theatre Barn's New Work Series, Choreography Lab, and their presentation of a special reading of the entire show.
DAYS OF RAGE is inspired by the activities of The Weathermen/Weather Underground Organization and The Black Panther Party in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The musical follows the story of Jean Avery, who leads the militant protest group The Weathermen after her brother leaves for Vietnam, and Fred Hayward, the leader of the Chicago chapter of The Black Panther Party, who tries to keep his fellow Party members from descending into violence. Fred and Jean's paths intertwine in a turbulent time of war, civil rights, and rage.
