NIGHT 1 - September 11 at 7PM
Claudia Canuto Originals – new music by Weathervane Guest Youth Artist Claudia Canuto
“Come Home” is an indie-folk-inspired tune. It tells the story of someone wishing their lover would return home.
True Est – a new play by Weathervane Resident Acting Company Member Becca Ayers and Stacey Wallace.
In this modern feminist take on Sam Shepard’s True West, two sisters battle inner demons (and each other), under the thumb of the oppressive American Dream, set to a Lilith Faire soundtrack.
Dorian’s Wild(e) Affair – a new musical featuring music by Weathervane’s Resident Music Director Andrew Morrissey, lyrics by Mark William, and book by Charles Abbott.
A deliciously devilish world-premiere musical, inspired by Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. Can a young man make a name for himself in gritty, glamorous 1970’s NYC? What would you give up to become a star?
