This first look of BREAKING THROUGH, presented by NSK Productions, Showworks, and Wolfe Theatricals, in association with The Pasadena Playhouse HOTHOUSE program, is directed by Sheldon Epps, artistic director of The Pasadena Playhouse. Epps has been shepherding the development of this work with Playhouse Associate Artistic Director Seema Sueko who heads HOTHOUSE, The Pasadena Playhouse's new play development program. Elizabeth Doran is the Executive director of The Pasadena Playhouse. BREAKING THROUGH tells the story of a young, talented singer/songwriter on a musical roller coaster ride that is her life, trying to navigate the treacherous shark-filled waters of the music business. Her compelling journey to find her way back to her true self and those she left behind, takes her into a dark and ruthless world with its cutthroat hash-taggers in designer clothes, who are willing to sacrifice anyone and anything.Videos
