Random Access Theatre to Stage New Musical PINWHEEL!
Random Access Theatre will present the world premier of the new musical Pinwheel!, a whimsical 1920s tale freely adapted by Caroline J. Prugh and Artistic Director Jennifer Sandella from the play by Frances Edwards Faragoh. Directed by Sandella and featuring an original score by Geoff Barone, choreography by Esther Widlanski, and a live four-piece band, this frenetic Jazz Age musical follows one woman's struggle to find her place in the American Dreamscape. Torn between mundane domesticity and a glittery life in Hollywood, The Jane embarks on a frenzied journey to satisfy her cravings for a richer life.
Emotionally charged and culturally relevant, Pinwheel! raises poignant questions about gender, societal roles, and the illusive nature of the American Dream. It is a story that is at once erotic, comic and tragic as it examines our dissatisfaction with cultural norms in our quest for authenticity. Pinwheel! will run for twelve performances from March 20-April 4 (Mon/Thurs/Fri@7pm & Saturdays@2pm and 8pm) at the Alchemical Theatre Laboratory at 104 west 14th St New York, NY. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased athttp://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1049806.
