Directed by Noah Himmelstein (Sammy Gets Mugged! at The Living Theatre with the NY Fringe Festival), Positions will receive six performances as part of UrbanArias’ second annual Festival, which runs April 13-22, 2012.
The cast will feature Jesse Blumberg, baritone, who created the role of Connie in The Grapes of Wrath and starred in the premiere of Ricky Ian Gordon’s Green Sneakers; Vale Rideout, tenor, who created the leading role in John Musto’s The Inspector at Wolf Trap Opera; and Amedee Moore, soprano, who recently sang the role of Clorinda in La Cenerentola at Opera North.

Cummings and Korie originally collaborated on Positions in 1980, but only wrote Part I (the sex manual). They will complete the piece for UrbanArias’ festival season in April 2012, with a public reading/workshop on March 21, also in Arlington.
Tickets will go on sale in January 2012 by visiting www.urbanarias.org.
