AT THE NORMA TERRIS THEATRE THIS FALL

This afternoon at Goodspeed's 7th Annual Festival of New Artists, the two-time Tony Award-winning theatre announced plans for the production of a new musical, The Great American Mousical,  to be directed by Julie Andrews. The musical is based on the best-selling book authored by Ms.Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton, with illustrations by Tony Walton. This developmental production will run November 8 - December 2, 2012 at The Norma Terris Theatre in Chester, Connecticut. Season ticketswill be available beginning January 16 through the Goodspeed Opera House Box Office. The Great American Mousical will be sponsored by Essex Meadows.

           Below the bright lights of Broadway, in the depths of the historic Sovereign Theatre, a troupe of musical-making mice rehearse a new show.  When the theatre is threatened by demolition and their diva Adelaide disappears, it will take all paws on deck to fulfill the time-honored tradition: the show must go on! Filled with singing, dancing, and show biz lore, The Great American Mousical is a tribute to life in the theatre and celebrates the two most glorious words in the English language: musical comedy!

As Education Director, Laura will be responsible for the creation, implementation and management of a broad range of educational and community engagement programs. She will work closely with the New Haven community recruiting Youth Orchestra members, gathering input for in-school programs, and managing the annual Young People's Concerts.

"She comes with an excellent background in music education and outstanding leadership experience. We look forward to Laura's leadership in realizing our objectives for increased student appreciation of their American musical heritage and expanded opportunities to hear and play orchestral music."

She now lives in Wooster Square with her husband and they maintain an active performance schedule as church musicians.

"I look forward to collaborating with the musicians, board, and staff to deepen and strengthen the educational work of the NHSO," said Laura. "I am eager to meet those involved in other arts organizations and to meet each music teacher in the New Haven Public Schools, and the surrounding communities, to hear about their programs, successes, needs, and hopes for their programs and their relationship with their NHSO."
