In preparation for Dragonfly Studio & Productions' premiere concert, 'LIVE OUT LOUD - Simply Me,' many of Orlando's best musical theatre talents have been rehearsing with award-winning musical theatre composer, Elaine Pechacek. The concert will celebrate the merger of Pechacek's Music from the Heart home studio and production company, the Squeaky Wheel Theatre Project, with highlights from her career as a composer. The concert will take place on 'Tonys' Eve,' Saturday, June 10th at 7:30pm.

To celebrate the opening of their brand new studio, the newly renamed Dragonfly Studio & Productions presents 'LIVE OUT LOUD - Simply Me' a concert featuring the solo and collaborative works of award-winning musical theatre composer, Elaine Pechacek on Saturday, June 10th at 7:30pm.

There is something exhilarating about sitting in the audience watching a new work that you think could eventually become something special. More so than any other artistic medium, pieces of musical theatre require extensive gestation periods, sometimes with years numbering in the decades. So to see a musical, somewhat early on in that process, presents an exciting opportunity to be a part of its growth. Such was the case when I saw SEASONS at Orlando Shakespeare's Mandell Theatre, which is in the midst of a state-wide tour.
