<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Wrapping up an Artists’ Residency sponsored by the Works & Process LaunchPAD
"Process as Destination" Initiative, Brooklyn-based vocalist and
composer Charles Turner, pianist/composer Sean Mason, and playwright Marcus
Scott, return to Catskill’s Bridge Street Theatre on Sunday afternoon, February
27 at 2:00pm, for a “Tasting” of songs and selections from an exciting new
musical theatre piece they’ve been developing together.<br>
<br>
<span style="color:black">Over the course of a weekend, a cadre of upscale
globetrotting professionals gather for one last hurrah in and around NYC’s
lounge scene. Celebrating the newfound success of one of their own who has received
a lucrative job offer overseas, the coterie spends an unforgettable weekend,
touring various nightclubs and lounges for an endless cavalcade of booze, hook-ups,
and cheap thrills. Inspired by the golden age Hollywood MGM musical classics
and filtered through a contemporary lens, this splashy new musical is a postmodern
coming of age rom-com that explores modern love through the prism of black
bourgeois culture.</span><br>
<br>
The multi-faceted Turner has performed at such venues as Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola
at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Birdland, Smoke Jazz club, and the historic Minton’s
Playhouse in Harlem. International performances include PizzaExpress in London,
Sunset/Sunside in Paris, Sala Clamores in Madrid, and other venues abroad from
Seoul, South Korea to Wellington, New Zealand. This new collaboration with
pianist/composer Sean Mason and playwright Marcus Scott extends Turner’s range
even further and promises to be an event to remember.<br>
