Confidential Musical Theatre Project

I'm thrilled to be performing a DREAM role in ____!  Never been to a Confidential Project before?  It's so fun!  Here's the info:

Our casts are given their scripts and scores and asked to familiarize themselves with their roles - but not to reveal the show title or their role in it to anyone. With no rehearsals, the cast and crew meet for the first time one hour before the performance begins. The audience shows up with no knowledge of what show they're about to see. The only rule: don't stop. No matter what.

Come and experience the theatrical concept that has been executed in 15+ cities all over North America. 

Experience the Confidential Musical Theatre Project - Fringe style!
Be in on the secret.
