Riding on the heels of New Paradigm Theatre's 2016 sold-out multi-ethnic production of Oliver! Reinvented and 2017's Peter Pan at Fairfield Theatre's Warehouse, (70 Sanford St, Fairfield CT). NPT will continue their collective impact productions with The Hunchback of Notre Dame on August 18th and 19th. NPT's goal is to bridge the gap between the arts and the local community with their performances.

Young people of all abilities will participate side-by-side with Broadway pros to create this production. Emmy and Oscar winner Paul Bogaev will again be the musical producer as well as playing a leading role! TV and Stage veterans Scott Bryce and Jodi Stevens will co-direct.

New Paradigm theatre, a company well-known for its inventive productions that are presented with multi-cultural, multi- generational and multi-gendered casting has chosen their community "partner nonprofit" that reflects the theme of this summer's show. This year NPT chose The Connecticut Burns Care Foundation (CBCF) from the nonprofits who submitted. For 40 years, CBCF has worked to support burn survivors as well as to present programs for education and advocacy to prevent burn injuries.

Artistic Director and Broadway veteran Kristin Huffman says, "New Paradigm is a theatre with a social conscience. We produce events and shows that not only entertain with Broadway professionals, but also connect directly to our community." As partnerships between the nonprofit and for-profit world continue to form in order to tackle social challenged from all sides, this type of collective impact production has become increasingly relevant and a vital component of a community.
