Asolo Rep announced today that the dates for it's four-part new musical competition, GROUND FLOOR: MAKING MUSICALS have been adjusted. Part two of the series, FOUNTAIN, originally scheduled to be released on June 4, was postponed in solidarity with black communities across the nation.
FOUNTAIN is now scheduled for June 11 and the remaining two performances were each moved one week later. The four-part new musical competition consists of four new and original musicals that will be broadcast live on the theatre's Facebook and YouTube pages. Each 30-minute session consists of a fifteen-minute preview performance of one new musical, followed by a fifteen-minute discussion with the playwright/composer and James Monaghan, Asolo Rep Dramaturg and Literary Manager, and Celine Rosenthal, Asolo Rep Associate Artistic Director, who serves as the Director of the Ground Floor Series and is also directing all four musicals. After the four musicals have aired, the audience will be asked to vote for their favorite and the winner will receive a full staged reading at Asolo Rep.
The new performance dates are as follows:
June 11 at 6pm (originally scheduled for June 4)
THE FOUNTAIN
