On June 9th, club members learned about 42nd Street Moon Theatre and its Moon School training program for young people from Executive Artistic Director Daniel Thomas.
The theater company was founded in San Francisco in 1993 to celebrate lesser known and forgotten Broadway musicals written by well known composers like Jerome Kern and Rodgers and Hart. More reccently the company has produced and performed world premieres of new musicals, including "Scrooge in Love" in 2015 and "Murder for Two" in 2021.
Daniel said the company successfully performed virtually during the shuttered months of the pandemic. We were treated to two inspiring online videos from 2020 and 2021.
The company's current musical, live on stage, is "The Pajama Game." It runs through June 19 at the Gateway Theatre, 215 Jackson Street. For show information and tickets, visit 42ndstmoon.org
