QUEEN MAB'S ALARMINGLY MANDATORY BRIDAL SHOWER to Premiere at The 2023 Hollywood Fringe Festival
Performances begin June 5.
This summer's Hollywood Fringe Festival will see the world premiere fundraiser event of a one-hour one-woman musical comedy featuring the Artistic Director of New Musicals Inc, Elise Dewsberry; with book and lyrics by New Musicals Inc. Executive Director Scott Guy and music by Jacques Offenbach. Additional music by Max Bruch, Michele Esposito, and Ken Neufeld.
New Musicals Inc. is on a mission to hire a new staff person: an Administrative Assistant/Facility Manager, in order to free up some time for the Artistic Director to concentrate on her work developing new musicals with writing teams around the world.
The center of the fundraising campaign is an Indiegogo Campaign that combines with the fundraiser presentation of the world premiere musical at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
Come and celebrate love, magic, and music with the ferocious and endearing Queen Mab, as she throws the bridal shower of the year, complete with mandatory attendance under penalty and duress, in a musical comedy that's sure to delight and enchant!
The Queen commands you to attend her 29th Bridal Shower – this time it's going to stick – or else!
Performances will take place at The Broadwater – Second Stage, 6320 Santa Monica Blvd. Los Angeles, CA
