Theatre Workshop of Nantucket Launches Inaugural 1956 Residency With New Musical RED GIANT
Theatre Workshop of Nantucket is launching its inaugural Theatre Nantucket 1956 Residency, a new initiative supporting the development of bold new work 30 miles out to sea.
The Residency’s first project welcomes Cathryn Wake and her new musical Red Giant, an all-female actor-musician rock musical with book, music, and lyrics by Wake, directed by Caroline Fairweather, with music direction by Alex “Goldie” Golden. The piece is performed by a cast of actor-musicians who play the score live onstage, creating a visceral, music-driven theatrical experience.
