THE NEW YORK MUSICAL THEATRE FESTIVAL (NYMF) presents reading of KT Peterson and Cedric D. Lyles' 7:32, directed by Laura Braza (The Attic Theater Company). When the Pacific Express crashed through a poorly built railroad bridge, the questionable practices of the Robber Barons first gripped the public's imagination. A tale of America's original Big Business catastrophe - the Ashtabula Disaster - set to a gospel, folk and bluegrass score. Playing at The 45th Street Theater (upstairs, 354 West 45th Street, New York, NY 10036). Performances are tonight, July 10th, 2012 at 8:00 pm & 9:00 pm and Thursday, July 12th, 2012 at 7:00 pm.
