Several alums of The Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program had their new work featured in Theatre Now's tenth annual Sound Bites Festival of 10-minute musicals:
SPARKS by Gabe Caruso (book & lyrics) & Enzo Veiga (music) (both Cycle 29) features a story about Atto and Tera, two housekeeping androids in neighboring households, who yearn for something more human than their pre-programmed AI lives.
STARSONG by Erika Ji (music) & Andrew Strano (words) (both Cycle 30) presents a story through light and puppetry and tells the story of twin stars, born in a beautiful nebula at the heart of the Milky Way.
BLACK HOLES LIKE DONUTS by Sam Norman (book & lyrics) & Eliza Randall (music) (both Cycle 30) - When a star collapses, a black hole forms. When a beloved mother dies, her astrophysicist husband and daughter must learn how to live with the void in their lives.
HOUSE CALL by Danielle Koenig (book & lyrics) & Utsav Bharghava (music & lyrics) (both Cycle 31) - Theatre-goer, you haven’t bought your TICKET yet and we critically need YOU in the AUDIENCE of HOUSE CALL to watch as a relationship is put to the TEST after an INFLUX of Nancy Pelosi texts. Can I count on you? Signed, Nancy Pelosi. (Text STOP to quit)
The festival will take place at Merkin Hall located at 129 West 67th Street, NYC on May 8th at 7 PM.
