Dreamlight Theatre Company to Present 'Bright Lights' 9/27

On Sunday, September 28th at 7:00pm, Dreamlight Theatre Company will present the next installment of "Bright Lights", a concert series dedicated to showcasing the work of emerging composers and lyricists in musical theatre.

The event will feature the talents of a group of "Out-Of-Towners" including Chicago's Brian Mazaferri, and writing team Alan Schmuckler & Michael Mahler.  From Philadelphia, Michael Biello & Dan Martin, and from Washington D.C, the work of Matt Conner.

Performers already set to appear are Jared Gertner (Broadway's Spelling Bee, Papermill's Little Shop of Horrors), Jesse Johnson (Glory Days), Randy Redd (Parade, Ring of Fire), and Kathy Voytko (Pirate Queen, The Frogs, Oklahoma).  Hosted by the incomparable Billy Bustamante, it should be a night to remember.

Mazaferri is a Chicago-based singer/songwriter and composer of Green Eyes, which received its premiere in the 2008 New York Fringe Festival.  Michael Mahler & Alan Schmuckler are the team behind the critically acclaimed musical How Can You Run With a Shell on Your Back.  Writing team Biello & Martin have just returned from a workshop of their newest piece, The Cousins Grimm at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center, and Matt Conner is the composer of Nevermore, which received its world-premiere production in 2006 at the Signature Theatre.

The concert will be hosted at The Triad (158 West 72nd Street) on Sunday, September 28th at 7pm.  Tickets are $15 with a two-drink minimum.  For more information or to purchase tickets, visit Dreamlight's website: www.DreamlightTheatre.org.
