Algonquin Productions and Austin Theatre Project have announced that the producers of the Broadway-bound musical National Pastime have awarded the Austin-based theatre company a workshop production of their work. Artistic Director David Blackburn says, "We have always felt the Austin theatre community has an incredible level of talent and we are both humbled and thrilled to have been selected for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
It seems fitting that the young, new Austin Theatre Project should kick off their 2nd Season with a young, new musical. The little-known song cycle Edges is the perfect choice. With its complex score, its energetic tone, and its themes about growing pains and becoming what we envision for ourselves, Edges is a captivating and engaging new work.
