IN THE WORKS Comes to The Duplex Cabaret Theatre This Sunday


Honeck-Moss Productions is proud to present "In The Works." Now in it's 3rd Hit Season, this exciting series was conceived as an opportunity for composers to try out new work in front of an audience and see how it plays in a supportive environment. It is also an opportunity to create community among the composers and their performers.

In The Works is presented monthly (the 3rd Sunday of Every Month) and features four composers or composer teams, each presenting 20 minutes of new material. This month, Sunday Dec 16th at 9:30pm features the works of composers: A.J. Freeman & Dimitri Landrain, Lauren Gundrum Brandon Lambert, and Patrick Thompson and Cal Silberstein. Hosted by: Thomas Honeck.

Featuring performances by: Sam Balzac, Deborah Berenson, Trevor Bunce, JD Daw, Keri René Fuller, Holly Gould, Max Meyers, Katie Oxman, Casi Riegle, and Tim Russell.
