Premieres' 2014 'Inner Voices' Series to Feature GRACE & THE OTHER ROOM, Begin. 10/4

PREMIERES, the New York based music theater organization whose mission is "to bring new music theatre to light," is pleased to announce the double bill that will comprise this season's Inner Voices, the biannual series of solo works featuring news teams of playwrights and composers. Performances will begin on Saturday, October 4th at 3pm at The TBG Theatre (312 West 36th Street - between 8th & 9th Avenues). Opening Night is Saturday, October 11th at 8:00pm. Performances will continue through November 1.

Grace, a haunting and soulful tale about brilliant, arrogant, award-winning novelist, Grace Monroe, as she faces the most devastating challenge of her life, forcing her to reassess her past, present and future. Libretto by award-winning actress and playwright Charlayne Woodard and score by Kirsten Childs.

The Other Room is a moving and often humorous solo piece celebrating the power of friendship and political engagement in the midst of the AIDS crisis. Lena reflects on her profound love for her friend Steve at a critical point in their relationship when he becomes seriously ill. Libretto by Mark Campbell and score by Marisa Michelson.

Paulette Haupt describes the evening as "two intimate explorations of loss, courage and triumph. I could not be more thrilled with the work that these new collaborative teams have created. The tapestry of words and music in both pieces is exceptional, full of poetic reflection and introspection, passion, melodic and inspiring. Both Grace Monroe and Lena face their challenges with valiant and bold acquiescence."

Inner Voices will play the following performance schedule: Monday through Friday at 8pm and Saturday at 3pm & 8pm.

Tickets are $25 and are available through Smartix.com/(212) 868-4444. Tickets will also be available at The TBG Theatre box office one hour before performance time.
