Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program Alum Joseph Vernon Banks (Cycle 9)
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.
