Matte O'Brien and Matt Vinson (aka 'Matt & Matte') are the gifted pair behind Peter & I, the hit Off-Broadway musical that enjoyed a sold-out run as part of the Araca Project at the American Theatre of Actors. Their eclectic style melds an emotional fusion of folk, rock, soul, and Broadway pop. For this special fundraiser to support Out of the Box Theatrics, Matt & Matte, along with their talented friends, will perform several of their favorite songs and debut an array of new ones. The evening will feature selections from Peter & I , Them or Us, Cake and an exclusive listen to their upcoming epic-folk re-imagining of L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables .

Their Anne of Green Gables will be featured at The Finger Lakes Musical Theater Festival's The PiTCH program this summer. The new musical, featuring choreography by Jennifer Jancuska, is currently being developed with Mainspring Arts Cooperative and 31 Tanager Productions.
