Project Footlight Festival
Project Footlight is back, good as new; so come to the reading and bring your friends too!
The Project Footlight 2009 show is now an invited reading at 161 Chrystie Street on March 9 at 7:30PM. This reading will present the work of eighteen musical theater writers who collaborated over a weekend to create a musical re...volving around a single theme - the lonely and unfulfilled ordinary American's search for connection and validation through the instant fame of the internet. See this exciting experiment in which many different voices joined together to launch a musical in a week (with a long Thursday!) on Monday, March 9. See our website, www.projectfootlight.com for more details.
Tickets are free but Dixon Place is a non-profit organization that relies on donations to continue operating in their new theater, present work like Project Footlight and support artists developing new material. Please contribute to them today and help the Project Footlight's of tomorrow find a home.

Late this afternoon, the entire writing crew gathered at 161 Chrystie and got their creative groove on. The musical mojo was on display as all nine teams presented their scenes and songs, written in only two mad-cap, sleep-deprived days. Without getting into detail, we will venture to say that w...
