Photo Flash: In Rehearsal with ZUCCOTTI PARK for The New York International Fringe Festival
ZUCCOTTI PARK, a musical about the human side of economics is in rehearsals for The New York International Fringe Festival that is celebrating its 20th Anniversary, August 12th - 28th, 2016.
Set at its namesake location in New York City during the Occupy Wall Street protests of late 2011, ZUCCOTTI PARK dramatizes the experiences of a broad cross section of Americans whose lives have been impacted by the economic system.
Scroll down for a sneak peek at the cast in rehearsal below!
The show begins when William Cooper (Ryan Neal Green) takes leave to visit childhood friend, Kate (Chelsea Rose Amoroso), in NYC after eight years at war. She is now beautiful, spirited, and passionate about the Occupy Movement. As his feelings for Kate grow, Cooper also connects with her protester friends, learns their stories and takes a good hard look at what it means to be an American. Book and lyrics by Catherine Hurd and music composed by Vatrena King.
