PREMIERES (Paulette Haupt, Artistic Director/Producer), in association with Primary Stages (Casey Childs, Founder & Executive Producer; Andrew Leynse, Artistic Director; Elliot Fox, Managing Director) has announced a special 4-week celebration of events including Inner Voices: Solo Musicals, with the premieres of two one-act solo musicals: Mosaic with Book & Lyrics by Cheri Steinkellner and Music & Lyrics by Georgia Stitt, and Whida Peru: Resurrection Tangle with Book & Lyrics by David Simpatico and Music by Josh Schmidt.
Performances begin Friday, April 2, 2010 for a limited engagement through Saturday, April 24, 2010 at Primary Stages at 59E59 Theaters (59 East 59th Street, between Park and Madison Avenues). In 2008, PREMIERES embarked on a new initiative in keeping with its mission to support creative talent, and produced Inner Voices: Solo Musicals at The Zipper Factory Theater. Three new pieces by Ellen Fitzhugh & Michael John LaChiusa, Laura Harrington & Jenny Giering and Michele Lowe & Scott Davenport Richards were presented, featuring Victoria Clark, Jennifer Damiano and Barbara Walsh. Inner Voices: Solo Musicals, inspired by Alan Bennett's ‘Talking Heads,' introduced a new genre of theater that unites the spoken monologue into a tapestry of lyrics and music. Mosaic, by Cheri Steinkellner & Georgia Stitt, is a multi-media, real-time half hour in the life -and on the MacBook - of Ruth, a woman vlogging at the crossroads of birth, death, love and Diet Coke.
