The MTF production follows a sold-out concert at Joe's Pub and a development reading in spring 2013.
The cast includes Mike Longo (Hair national tour) and Mary Kate Morrissey (Hair national tour), with Jason SweetTooth Williams (Bloodsong of Love), Jeremy Morse (Bloodsong of Love), Luke Wygodny (American Idiot national tour), Katie Melby, Andrew Lynch (Blue Man Group), Lizzie Hagstedt (Southern Comfort) and Jeremy Yaddaw.
The Disappearing Man, according to MTF, "takes place backstage at a small-time travelling circus in 1936. When the headliner is offered another job, the motley troupe must decide whether to adapt to the change or fight to keep the family together."
The folk opera was originally conceived while Sood was on tour with the band Ezra Furman & the Harpoons and was subsequently workshopped in Cambridge, MA. In 2013, Sood began a new phase of development with director Shakina Nayfack and music director Brian Cavanagh-Strong, the team behind this Musical Theatre Factory showcase.
Performances will be offered Jan. 17-19, 23-25 at 8 PM and January 20-21 at 7 PM. Cloud City is located at 85 N. 1st Street in Brooklyn. For more information and tickets, click here.
