The producers of "Coming of Age in Korea" invite theatre-goers to two pre-show receptions over the upcoming weekend.
The first party mixer is slated for Friday January 30th (6:30 p.m.) one hour prior to curtain.
The second soiree will be tossed on Sunday Feb. 1st @ 1:00 p.m.
The play - in a nutshell - focuses on three young GIs from New York City (one Latino, one Black and one Jewish) who confront the harassment of brass, racism in the military, and the brutality of the United States occupation of South Korea at the tale end of the War.
"Coming of Age" features music by Fred Newman and celebrated Grammy-nominated composer Annie Roboff.
According to the director, the score takes the audience on a journey through the "coming of age" of American popular music — the blues, swing, doo-wop, rock - and country.
This production is directed by Garbrielle L. Kurlander (CEO of All Stars Project) and partnered with renowned dancer and choreographer Desmond Richardson (co-artistic director of Complexions Contemporary Ballet).
