RE-CAST
AVAILABLE THRU SEPT 30, 2021
Directed by Kelli Foster Warder
Music Direction by Jason Hansen
Featuring Jay Owen Eisenberg, John Jamison, Nora Montañez, Sara Ochs, Tod Petersen, and Evan Tyler Wilson
We’ve invited some of your favorite artists to sing songs they have always wanted to sing. Actors can be plagued by the word “typecast”; so we asked them to remove those barriers, those expectations, and tell their own stories. It will be an evening filled with passion, joy and surprise.
We are grateful for the anonymous sponsor who generously underwrote the GHOSTLIGHT SERIES and for their ongoing support of Theater Latté Da.
