Rick Lewis, Artistic Director of Bridgetown Conservatory said: "We are very excited to present Joey Contreras' new musical, In Pieces. It is vital to Bridgetown to present theatre that is relevant to our young performers and the issues with which they are dealing. We have assembled an amazing group of young Portland performers for our production." In Pieces focuses on eight young people as they each face a turning point in their lives. Before they can move on, they must retrace their journeys, the stories and relationships that got them there.

Bridgetown Conservatory of Musical Theatre prides itself in being the premier training ground for young performers with an eye on a professional musical theatre career. Bridgetown offers "triple-threat" training (Acting, Dance and Vocal Performance) for young professional ages 12-19, preparing for college entrance into top-tier musical theatre programs and professional careers in musical Theatre. Bridgetown Conservatory's musical theatre triple-threat program is taught by former Broadway and NYC professionals, providing experienced and thoughtful insight into the training of young performers.

In Pieces premiered as part of the "Broadway's Future Songbook Series" in the Bruno Walter Auditorium at the New York Public Library.
