The Glove Theatre Presents Workshop Production of New Musical, Picture of David, by Alyssa Rizzo

Friday, May 10th and Saturday, May 11th at 7.00pm and Sunday, May 12th, as 2.00pm.

The Glove Theatre is presenting a workshop production of Picture of David, a new musical by St. John’s parish organist, Alyssa Rizzo. This production marks the first new musical which will be developed at The Glove Theatre. Take a look at the details here.

“…David will be a staged workshop reading,” adds director, Maricondi, “which is something that is done a lot in New York City and beyond to help refine the piece, test it in front of an audience, and get audiences interested in following its journey. There will be movement, a live band, suggestions of a set…but it’s really a chance for the piece to speak for itself and for audiences to get in on the ground floor of a New Work’s development.
