Peter Brook is one of the world's most respected and revolutionary directors of contemporary theatre. To help his actors achieve extraordinary performances, he has a special exercise, called 'the Tightrope,' which evolved over decades of experimentation and practice into a process of transformation that makes theatre real and new for actor and audience alike.

The Hudson Music Club and the Hudson Village Theatre team up to pay homage to the master with their co-production of a Montreal original, Cole & Co., co-penned by Randy Davies and Marie-Claude L'Ecuyer.
