New Musical ARDEN Starring Ginger Minj to be Presented by In The Wings Productions

In The Wings Productions of Orlando, FL has announced its upcoming production of ARDEN, a new musical with book by Tyler Scott and arrangements and orchestrations by Jeff Villarrubia. ARDEN features a wealth of local Orlando talent, including RuPaul's Drag Race Star Ginger Minj!

ARDEN brings The Fairies (A Midsummer Night's Dream), The Lovers (As You Like It), and The Witches (The Scottish Play) to the magical Forest of Arden where the stories of William Shakespeare collide with mashups of iconic pop music from the 70's and 80's for an explosion of color and song.

Starring alongside Ginger Minj are local talent Adam McCabe (The Rocky Horror Show, Spring Awakening, Rent) and Cesar De La Rosa (In The Heights, Godspell, Into The Woods). Newcomer Samantha Grace Sostak debuts in the role of Rosalind.

ARDEN is presented by In The Wings Productions of Orlando. Founded in 2011 by Amy K. Bates, In The Wings Productions strives for immersive, thought-provoking theater experiences that feature local favorites and new talent alike. Previous productions include Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, and The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) among others.

Production staff include Creator/Director Tyler Scott, Choreographer Shalyn Barker, and Music Director Charles Stevens. Design staff include Costume & Wig Designer Robert Di Giovanni (Di Giovanni Theatricals of New York City), Scenic Designer Jamie DeHay (Unseen Images Theater Orlando), Music Producer Cesar De La Rosa, and Stage Manager Faith Kraynik.
