The Bridge
Book and Lyrics by Kathleen Wrinn
Music by Peter Hodgson
Featuring performances by Peter Hodgson and Kathleen Wrinn
The Bridge is an epic new musical based on the love story that built the Brooklyn Bridge. When Emily Roebling's husband falls mysteriously ill and is unable to continue as Chief Engineer, Emily must do the impossible: secretly take her husband's place as Chief, in an era half a century before women were allowed to vote. With a genre-defying score as vibrant as New York City itself, The Bridge explores the forces that unite and divide us. It is a story of mistakes and forgiveness. Of great sacrifice and even greater hope. Of finding a way forward, across the uncrossable. Together.
Now in its 14th season, New York Theatre Barn's New Works Series is produced and hosted by Associate Artistic Director Jen Sandler and Artistic Director Joe Barros. The New Works Series supports NYTB's mission of incubating original culture shifting musicals in real time and in front of live audiences, and has received support in part by the Innovation & Exploration Fund - a program of the National Alliance for Musical Theatre. For the past year, the company has presented 42 virtual installments of its New Works Series (among other programming), showcased 88 new musicals, and lifted up the work of 158 writers and over 500 artists.
