Donning the Santa hat again for Ali Keller (writer, lyricist), and Emily Rose Simons (composer), under the direction of Rebecca Aparicio for the reading -- this time WITH MUSIC!!! Produced by HARP Theatricals at Ripley Grier Studios on June 18, 2022 with the creative gang above! Ali explains her experimental theatre piece best: BLOOD/SWEAT/TEARS is a horror movie, inside of a musical, inside of a play about Ginny (and her movie and musical counterparts – the show is triple cast across the worlds) – Ginny is a bookwriter & lyricist, who’s fighting to get the final draft of her musical script approved to go into rehearsals. But as Ginny’s creative team insists on changes, she begins rewrites that drastically impact the plot of the musical and therefore the horror movie. Turning a story that should be one of determination and success into a disturbing tale about survival, as reality and fiction begin to blur during Ginny’s final evaluation. BLOOD/SWEAT/TEARS is like if Inception and Whiplash had a baby – and that baby sang like 50% of the time. |
