We were delighted to have a successful industry reading of True North on Monday, October 23 in New York City. The cast featured an array of Broadway talent including Paolo Montalban, Michael Deaner, Salena Qureshi, Charlie Franklin, Amanda Jane Cooper, Major Attaway, Paige Faure, John Edwards, Cherry Torres, and Mike Backes. Direction was by Richard H. Blake, music direction by Cynthia Meng, and music supervision and orchestrations by Macy Schmidt.
A few kind words we received…
“THANK YOU for hosting the industry reading of True North!! We really enjoyed all aspects of the presentation. A playful and uplifting holiday musical with substance, True North is a moving story with deeply explored relationships and charming music.” ~Lil Malinich
“…the reality checks of a widower being deployed, a tough-on-the-exterior daughter, a neurodivergent son and a conceptual dual-reality twist really added a layer of value to the whole enterprise. The music landed for me like holiday-pop-rock…. Catchy songs that advanced the plot—bingo! The title makes a promise and keeps it.” ~Derek McCracken
The excitement surrounding the reading has spurred numerous discussions with industry professionals, a testament to the universal appeal and potential success of True North.
So many thanks to our cast and creative team, investors, leadership and support staff including Eisenberg Beans Casting, MTTM Theatrics, Turnkey Theatrical, Boulevard Carroll Entertainment, and Schmackary’s Cookies for helping make it happen!
