Village Theatre Offers Workshop of Friedman/Kellogg Musical

As a part of its nationally recognized Village Originals program, Village Theatre announces a Workshop of Stunt Girl, a new musical about the life of reporter Nellie Bly. Stunt Girl features Music by David Friedman and Book and Lyrics by Peter Kellogg. David Bennett will direct the workshop.

Born Elizabeth Cochran, Nellie Bly would go on to become a groundbreaking investigative journalist, intrepid world traveler, and captain of industry-all in an age when women didn't even have the right to vote.

Open to the public, Workshops are the next step after a reading in the development of a new musical. They are fully staged pieces, where musical numbers are off-book and actors move through a full rehearsal process. There are no costumes, set or props, and include minimal lights and music. Workshops are for shows ready to move beyond readings, giving them the opportunity to further develop and gain more in-depth audience feedback before becoming a staged production.

Village Theatre's nationally-recognized Village Originals program is dedicated to every aspect of new musical development: workshops, readings, seminars and full productions. To date, over 55 new musicals have been developed, many of which have gone on to stages throughout the world, including The Ark (opened off-Broadway November 2005), After the Fair, Play It By Heart, Making Tracks, The Wedding Banquet, and Eleanor. Village Theatre is highly respected on a national level for its significant contribution to the world of musical theatre--only a handful of theatre companies throughout the country commission and develop new musicals!
