BE A PART OF THE BETA TEST B4 IT GOES VIRAL!
New Musical Theater of San Francisco, in association with Carollo & Palumbo, LLC, presents the first public reading of Goldrush 2.0, a smart, timely musical comedy by Absolutely San Francisco creator Anne Nygren Doherty. With a vibrant pop-score by Mark Mendelson, the show captures the hilarious yet significant struggles of a Silicon Valley start-up.
Framed within a professional development seminar by a hot shot venture capitalist, the plot follows 3 twenty-somethings out to make it big in tech: Josh - the brash, high-energy CEO; Andrew - the earnest, brilliant coder; and Ashley - a desperate newbie with college debt. Self-interest and self-denial duke it out in this uplifting show that will have audiences thinking - and laughing - about the impact of technology on our lives.
Moon fans would be interested to know that writer Anne Nygren Doherty studied musical theater privately with the late Bob Merrill. Today, she is the creator of the long running local hit Absolutely San Francisco and recently produced an award-winning NYC workshop of Richard Isen’s Chance, a Musical Play about Love, Risk and Getting It Right. Learn more about her work at https://www.annenygren.com
Composer Mark Mendelson, a Danville native, is a multi-talented gem who specializes in music and design for live events. Bay Area theater-goers know his design work for major theater venues: including 42nd Street Moon. He is also an accomplished composer, having written music for several musicals including The Morning After Show, 15 episodes of the live radio comedy The High Street Broadcast, short films - including the award-winning Zombie Love, and for Disney Imagineering.
The reading - at the newly christened Gateway Theater (the 42nd Street Moon space, formerly known as The Eureka) - is helmed by Rachel Robinson, who recently directed Suessical for Bay Area Musicals. Seasoned music-director Jon Gallo will be at piano. The cast features Brad Crooker, Josselyn O’Neill, Zac Schuman, Kevin Singer, and Katie Trim.
SHOW is 2 hours long and is PG 13 for language.
There will be a writer feed-back session after.
