Transport Group’s world-premiere musical Renascence begins previews October 5 prior to an official opening October 25 at the Abrons Arts Center, 466 Grand Street.
Renascence has music by Carmel Dean (musical director for If/Then, American Idiot), a book by Tony nominee Dick Scanlan (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Everyday Rapture), and lyrics from the poems of Edna St. Vincent Millay.
Directed by Artistic Director Jack Cummings III and Scanlan, the cast features Mikaela Bennett (The Golden Apple), Hannah Corneau (Hedwig and the Angry Inch national tour), Jason Gotay (Bring it On), Danny Harris Kornfeld (Rent national tour), Katie Thompson (Giant, Pump Boys and Dinettes), and Donald Webber Jr. (Hamilton, Whorl Inside a Loop).
Renascence is the story of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, who became a sensation at age 18 and proceeds to blaze a trail for women—and for herself—through the teens and Roaring 20s.
