[Title of Show]
Associate Producer - Broadhurst Theatre, NYC
Jeff and Hunter, two struggling writers, hear about a new musical theatre festival. However, the deadline for submissions is a mere three weeks away. With nothing to lose, the pair decides to try to create something new with the help of their friends Susan, Heidi and Larry on the eighty-eights. With the cast in place, Jeff and Hunter begin a conversation about what to write about. Eventually, Jeff suggests they write about what to write about. They make a pact to write up until the festival's deadline and dream about the show changing their lives. [title of show] -- taken from the space on the festival's application form which asks for the "[title of show]" -- follows Hunter and Jeff and their friends on their journey through the gauntlet of creative self-expression. In the span of 90 minutes they write and perform their show at the festival and learn lessons about themselves as people, friends and artists.
[title of show] is, above all, a love letter to the musical theatre -- a uniquely American art form -- and to the joy of collaboration.

I had followed this show from Off-Broadway to Broadway and I considered this show to be a true inspiration for anyone trying to create theatre. “I’d rather be nine people’s favorite thing, than nine hundred people’s ninth favorite thing” was a message that I carried with me for years. When the Entertainment Community Fund approached me to produce this reunion concert, I was honored. Having the opportunity to work with Jeff Bowen, Susan Blackwell, Heidi Blickenstaff and Hunter Bell under the direction of Michael Berresse was a once in a lifetime experience.
