So the BIG, exciting news is that PERSUASION: A New Musical will have its California premiere at Lamb's Players Theatre in Coronado! We are thrilled to be working with San Diego's third-largest theater company. Located in the heart of Coronado, just a short drive over the Bay Bridge from downtown San Diego, Lamb's Players Theatre is within walking distance of numerous shops and restaurants, the Coronado beach, and the historic Hotel del Coronado (where Billy Wilder filmed the entirety of Some Like It Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon). Founded in 1971, Lamb's Players is celebrating its 47th anniversary in 2018. PERSUASION will be playing 8 shows per week, from Tuesday through Sunday, October 5 to November 18, 2018. Tickets are available now!

The Persuasion: A New Musical Original Cast Recording was funded in-part by Jack Straw Cultural Center's Artist Residency Program. We were lucky that the sound engineers from Jack Straw joined us for the release party. If you were unable to attend, you can hear a live recording of the music below.

On another note, PERSUASION bookwriter Harold Taw's short story "The Ascent" was recently featured on The Other Stories Podcast. Originally published in Raven Chronicles to celebrate 20 years of the Jack Straw Writers Program, it's a story about two South Asian twins and the end of the world.

You can listen to Harold read "The Ascent" and also to his conversation about writing in multiple genres (including musicals) at The Other Stories.
