Matt Gould and Griffin Matthews Will Present a Workshop of THE FAMILY PROJECT

Matt Gould and Griffin Matthews, the Award Winning writers of Invisible Thread (Second Stage and ART) will present a workshop of their new musical THE FAMILY PROJECT in May. The new piece was written as a commission for Los Angeles Center Theater Group.

THE FAMILY PROJECT will be directed by Tony Nominee Dick Scanlan (Whorl Inside a Loop, Thoroughly Modern Millie) and will feature a cast that includes writers Griffin and Gould, along with Tony Nominee Brad Oscar (Something Rotten, Big Fish), Jessica Molaskey (Sunday In The Park, Parade), Marva Hicks (Motown, Caroline or Change), Ken Robinson (The Color Purple, Baby It's You), Gabrielle Stravelli (Lempicka) and Nicholas Christopher (Motown).

The show is a documentary musical that chronicles how two men from different cultures, backgrounds, and histories come together to form the new American family. Inspired by true stories by the families of the creators, THE FAMILY PROJECT explodes in a heart pounding score about love and examines how tiny acts can alter the course of history.
