Bella: An American Tall Tale Concert Cast & Demo

An American Tall Tale

I have joined the concert cast of Bella! Weston’s New Musical Award Concert.

Playwright Kirsten Childs is an award-winner several times over. Her off-Broadway musical The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin won an Obie and garnered Lucille Lortel, NAACP, and Drama Desk nominations.
The Vermont concert of Bella: An American Tall Tale premiers on Saturday, February 27 at 8:00 pm at the Weston Playhouse on the Village Green in Weston. A VTarts2016 event, the concert is free and open to the public and the performance will be followed by a brief reception, with an opportunity to meet Childs and her cast.

The Weston New Musical Award is the only honor of its kind in the country. From a group of national nominations, the winner is selected to rehearse in Vermont under professional music direction with a cast of Broadway actors/singers, performing selections on the Weston stage. From Vermont, they travel to New York for an invited concert and a recording session with Kurt Deutsch of Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight Records. “The New Musical Award was the first of our now annual New Works Programs,” notes Weston Producing Artistic Director Steve writers and composers, including five productions of new musicals on our stages.”
