First day of school for the Geffen Playhouse/Atlantic Theater co-production of These Paper Bullets!
Anthony Manna
Despite their best efforts, these ladies were cut during previews. Show business can be cruel.
Anthony Manna
Rehearsing something as massive as These Paper Bullets requires a lot…it’s both a huge theatrical event and a big ol’ rock concert.
Anthony Manna
On a break in the rehearsal room are Nick Ullett, Kate Blumberg, Chris Geary, and Keira Naughton. Lucas Papaelias is in the background.

The party doesn’t start until Greg Stuhr and I (Tony Manna, on the right…nice to meet you) arrive and make it weird.
