The Foundation For New American Musicals Presents THE MOLLYHOUSE In A Special Staged Reading
![]()
The Foundation for New American Musicals invites you to join us on Sunday, October 14 in a beautiful garden setting for a one-time only staged reading event of an exciting and timely new musical, THE MOLLYHOUSE, by Richard Hanson (book and lyrics) and Divya Maus (music).
In 1726, an underground gay pub thrives in the London slums: the MollyHouse. Inside, every night is a celebration, but outside, a repressive government tightens its hold on the city's gay population. Inspired by real events, THE MOLLYHOUSE is a vibrant blend of Irish folk song, classic rock, and contemporary pop music.

THE MOLLYHOUSE will star Jonah Platt (WICKED on Broadway, "Jesus Christ Superstar Live"), Payson Lewis (FOR THE RECORD: TARANTINO, "Jane the Virgin,"), Laura Dickinson ("Phineas & Ferb," PITCH PERFECT 1 & 2), and Bella Hicks (BEEHIVE National Tour, AMERICAN IDIOT at La Mirada). Also featured in the cast are Kevin Bailey, Kenton Chen, Michael Austin Deni, Ian Littleworth, Nick McKenna, Jonathan Reinhart and Kevin Symons. The reading will be music directed by Daniel Weidlein and directed by Richard Israel.
Seating is limited for this one-time only event. Tickets are available for $60 at www.themollyhouse.bpt.me. 90% of the cost of each ticket qualifies as a tax-deductible charitable donation. All proceeds from ticket sales for THE MOLLYHOUSE go to fund FNAM's youth outreach programs.
The Foundation for New American Musicals is dedicated to educating, mentoring and showcasing the next generation of creators of musicals for stage, screen and new media.
