Garth Kravits Talks Passion for Theatre: 'I just knew in my heart that's what I wanted'

- Jan 17, 2010
When Garth Kravits approached his parents with the thought of leaving school and heading into the wedding-singing business, they were not exactly thrilled at first, though given the family's involvement with community theatre, they eventually accepted his decision. Years later, and ready to open in a production of 'Crossing Delancey' at the Bickford Theatre, Kravits attributes his evolution as an artist to the years he spent as a wedding singer, 'My high school drama teacher told me it doesn't matter if there's one person in the back row or 1,000 people, you should give it the same passion,' he says in an interview with New Jersey Online, 'It's the same for weddings - there are those where the crowd is energized and animated and thrilled to be there, and there are those weddings where the guests are picking at the salmon, glassy-eyed.'

theAtrainplays To Perform At New World Tonight, 6/25
by BWW News Desk
- Jun 25, 2008
heAtrainplays are a celebration of New York, created by six teams while traveling the entire route of the A train, from 207th Street & Broadway to Far Rockaway and back. On Tuesday evening, June 24th, four librettists will hop on the A train at 207th Street and begin writing the books for four 15-minute musicals, all set on the A train. Before each of the teams begins their journey, they pick a number between 3 and 5 to set the number of characters, then they choose headshots from a blind draw to determine who is in each piece. When the librettists reach the Far Rockaway stop, they randomly select, through another blind draw, their collaborative lyricists, composers, directors and choreographers, who have been awaiting their arrival at a nearby McDonald's with two playwrights joining them and just beginning their journey. Two directors will meet the creators of the now finished plays at 207th Street and they all proceed to Columbus Circle where they meet the pre-selected pool of actors, decipher their scribbles, copy the scripts and begin rehearsals. They have until show time THE NEXT DAY, Wednesday night, June 25th at 8:00PM to develop these works into six exciting new musical experiences to be shared with the audience at New World Stages on the set of the hit musical Altar Boyz.
