Jekyll & Hyde, Songs For A New World, in^significant others

We had a great run through Saturday of Jekyll & Hyde. This cast is really terrific and I think the show is going to be wonderful. We've got lots of work ahead of us and just the right amount of time to get it done. The costumes are looking terrific and all of the elements are starting to come together nicely. We will get on to the stage and our set in about 10 days. ...very exciting. This production opens at the end of April. Don’t miss it.

Check out some great photos at the Palo Alto Players website.



Songs For A New World rehearsals get underway on April 15. Our brilliant musical director, Ben Prince, will take the helm and the cast will be learning and refining the music during the first couple of weeks of rehearsal.
Ray Of Light Theatre is the producer of this show and it will be performed at the Eureka Theatre in San Francisco starting May 11.




Music rehearsals are already underway for in^significant others. Jay Kuo has put up a blog that is a sort of live journal of our whole process in getting this show up.

Musical Theatre Update

Jay Kuo’s musical Insignificant Others was just awarded the Bay Area Critics Circle Award for best original script of a new musical! This is an exciting honor for this show that we’re going to be opening at the Zeum Theatre in Yerba Buena in mid-July. We have a great cast and will be starting rehearsals before you know it in June.

In the meantime, rehearsals for Jekyll & Hyde at Palo Alto Players continue to be fun and exciting. This is a really big show and we’re doing some fun and exciting things with it. This production opens at the end of April. Don’t miss it.

Another exciting project is Songs For A New World a revue of truly marvelous songs by genius songwriter Jason Robert Brown. His music is complex and beautiful. The lyrics are deep, moving, funny and thought provoking. Four talented singing actors will be performing this show for Ray Of Light Theatre Company at the Eureka Theatre in downtown San Francisco starting May 11th.
Ray Of Light Theatre is presenting a concert version of The Secret Garden this month before we start work on Songs For A New World.

I’m excited to be directing all three of these theatrical projects for 3 different companies! It is quite a busy spring. I hope everyone gets to see these shows between April and August of this year.
