The staged reading for PERSUASION played to an attentive and appreciative full house on June 20, 2016. Two new songs; innumerable improvements to the script; and the "best of company"---the Texas Musical Theatre Workshop was a dream come true in the development of the show. Chris and Harold were blessed by an amazing creative team: producer Natasha Davison, director Robert Faires, music director Lyn Koenning; a stellar cast: Rachel James, Tim O'Brien, Matt Buzonas, Claire Lilley, Emily Ott, Shelley Auer, Nick Mayo, David M. Long, Lisa Brescia, and Liz Beckham; and a take-no-prisoners production team: Sarah Hudson, Tyler Osgood, Trace Turner, Kelley Elizabeth Henry, April Hudson, Lia Rodriguez, Texas Performing Arts, and Rusty Cloyes.
