'Title Of Show' at the Ars Nova Theater

Bridge Club Productions present the musical comedy Title Of Show, by Hunter Bell (Book) and Jeff Bowen, at the Ars Nova Theater from the 11 - 27 Sep 2005. Part of the Second New York Musical Theatre Festival.

Two struggling writers, Jeff and Hunter, try to write and submit a show to The New York Musical Theatre Festival, in hopes of getting discovered and optioned for a commercial run. What happens when they race to meet the impending deadline? Will Festival audiences and critics embrace the show? Will someone with money want to option them? And if they do, can they keep their beloved project in tact, or will their cast and their show crumble under the pressure? Title Of Show explores the internal and external "vampires" that attempt to come between us and our creative self-expression.

Directed and choreographed by Michael Berresse, the Title Of Show features Hunter Bell, Jeff Bowen, Susan Blackwell and Heidi Blickenstaff.

Dedicated to discovering new work and new artists, The New York Musical Theatre Festival celebrates the diversity, creativity, and future of musical theatre. NYMF is a flagship program of the National Music Theater Network, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and is America�s largest annual musical theatre event.
