THE LITTLE RED LIGHTHOUSE AND THE GREAT GRAY BRIDGE -- A NEW MUSICAL to Have Free Public Reading 6/15
By: Matt Tamanini
THE LITTLE RED LIGHTHOUSE AND THE GREAT GRAY BRIDGE -- A NEW MUSICAL by Jessica Ann Carp will have a public reading on Monday June 15th at 6pm. This will take place at Literary Walk in Central Park by 66th Street in the middle of the park as part of the Lulu & Leo Fund Sing For Hope NYC piano installation.
This new musical is adapted from the 1942 children's book of the same title, by Hildegrade H. Swift and Lynd Ward. This timeless classic tells the story of the Little Red Lighthouse who felt important and useful until the Great Gray Bridge (based on the George Washington Bridge) was built. Then he felt very, very small and no longer needed. The Great Gray Bridge explains, "Each to his own place little brother!" urging the Little Red Lighthouse to see that everyone, no matter how small, has a purpose. With musical direction by Patrick Sulken, the cast includes Brian Childers as the Man/Narrator, William Mulligan as the Little Red Lighthouse, Jessica Ann Carp as the Great Gray Bridge, Michal Salonia as the Fat Black Tug, Michael C O'Day as the Big Steamer, and Kimberly Faye Greenberg as the Slender Canoe.Videos
