Help Launch Lunch
⊆ June 15th, 2006 by courtney | ˜Hear Our Interview with Shawn Northrip and Shirley Serotsky
Meet the theatre company that is trying to break the stigma associated with show tunes.
Writer Shawn Northrip and director Shirley Serotsky, the minds behind Source’s Titus, the musical and McBeth’s McTragic McMusical, and the Madcap Players’ Cautionary Tales for Adults, along with business manager Caehlin Bell, present an evening of rock musical theatre as a fundraiser for their newly formed Bouncing Ball Theatrical Productions.
The show will be at the Black Cat’s Backstage in Washington, D.C. on the 18th of June, 2006 at 9 p.m.
The event will feature scenes from three of Serotsky and Northrip’s collaborations: Titus, the musical, a punk rock adaptation of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus that opened the Source’s last season; Cautionary Tales for Adults, a musical picture book in which adults suffer painful deaths for behaving responsibly; and Lunch, a musical about love in the eighth grade. Following the scenes will be a live performance by Lemonface, DC’s youngest rock band and the musical inspiration for Lunch.
Later this summer, Bouncing Ball will be producing Northrip’s teen rock musical Lunch at the first annual CapFringe Festival and subsequently co-produce the show at the New York Musical Festival as a part of the festival’s Next Link Series.
Bouncing Ball Theatrical Productions is a new production company dedicated to developing new and innovative musical theatre that challenges the expectations of the musical genre, and showcasing a new generation of musical theatre performers.
Performers include:
Jacob Jackovich, Nathan Bonfiglio, Tracy Olivera, Casie Platt, R.L. Mirabal, Michael John Casey, Cesar Guadamuz, and Lemonface (Richard Wynne, Brendan McCusker, Dana Wilentz)
