[Capdist-announce] Charles Turner @ Bridge Street Theatre February 27

[Steven Patterson]

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.

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.

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.
