The presentation – by invitation only - will take place on Monday, April 1. These presentations are part of The York Theatre Company's Developmental Reading Series. This reading was made possible by a generous gift from The Tanner Foundation. Ethel Merman was the most important musical theatre star who ever took to the stage. A powerful woman in an era when women were not supposed to be powerful, her strength informed her work and her art. She redefined the musical theater and her influence is felt to this day. Ethel Merman was the star of her own story; she is the star of ours. Cast: Megan Sikora as Ethel Merman, with Jeremy Benton, Michael Berresse, Adam Heller, Manu Narayan, Patricia Richardson, Diane Findlay, and Robert Sella. Stage Directions by Hans Friedrichs. The stage manager is Meg Meschino. www.yorktheatre.org Instagram: @yorktheatre Twitter: @yorktheatrenyc www.facebook.com/yorktheatrecompany/ www.youtube.com/user/yorktheatre |
