Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program Joseph Vernon Banks (Cycle 9) will tour his new musical CRITICAL CARE, OR REHEARSALS FOR A NURSE through NYC's 5 boroughs as part of Theater for the New City's Street Theater Company annual free tour.
Featuring a book, lyrics, and direction by Crystal Field and a score composed and arranged by Joseph Vernon Banks, Critical Care tells the story of a young person studying to be a nurse who, in order to pay for tuition and books, takes a job in a nursing home, where residents dance before her eyes, becoming superstars as they sing "Who We Really Are." They are, however, menaced by the COVID-19 virus, but good people fight back.
Free performances will play parks, playgrounds, and closed-off streets through September 12.
