The York Theatre Company's Developmental Reading Series will continue March 8 at 2:30 PM and 7 PM with a staged reading of the new musical Monet at The York Theatre Company at Saint Peter’s (619 Lexington Avenue).
The reading, directed by Alan Paul with music direction by Eugene Gwozdz, will feature Alexandra Silber (Fiddler on the Roof), Price Waldman (A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder). Ken Clark (Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812), Peter Cormican (Follies), George Dvorsky (York’s Closer Than Ever), Jeanne Lehman (Beauty and the Beast), Jamie LaVerdiere (The Producers), Maurice Murphy (Motown the Musical), Tom Rhoads (Buttons), and Danielle Erin Rhodes (The Marvelous Wonderettes).
Monet, which has music and lyrics by Carmel Owen (Asylum: The Strange Case of Mary Lincoln) and a book by Joan Ross Sorkin, is inspired by the life of Claude Monet and the price he ultimately paid for his art.
The creative team includes associate music director Joe Mohan, projection designer Lacey Erb, lighting designer Lucrecia Briceno, production stage manager Carol A. Sullivan, and assistant stage manager Ryan A. Ross.
The readings are free and open to the public on the day of the presentation. Advance reservations are available with a minimum suggested donation of a $10 fee for each reading. For additional information, visit YorkTheatre.org.
