Description
John Kanter with new writing Partner, Lyricist, Greg Pierce wrote this Musical that's made up of 3 Short Musicals
...just four actors and four musicians. We're great fans of short stories so we liked the idea of there being a narrator. We hit on this idea of a boy who becomes fascinated with the constellation myths as well as the carpenter who knows all about them. So that became the first one-act, Andra. We both love opera and operetta so we decided to mess around with the musical form a little so it differs from the scene-song-scene approach of the tradition musical...you'll see. We owe thanks to the great writer and friend William Goldman who first suggested we turn Andra into a full-length evening of theater. We decided to write two more one-acts which could be performed by the same four actors and instruments. We wrote the one-act The Landing next, and then the more comic (hopefully) one-act The Brick to go in the middle. We work-shopped these one-at-a-time at our beloved artistic home The Vineyard Theatre in NYC, always with our intrepid music director David Loud and a bunch of wildly gifted actors, some of whom you're about to hear. The show premiered at the Vineyard Theatre in 2013 leed by the inventive director Walter Bobbie and we watched our 'living room musical' come to life. John Kander and Greg Pierce
