Among them are Michael James Scott, Tony nominee Brenda Braxton, Nick Adams, JJ Niemann, Sav Souza , Kate Loprest, Chris Medlin, Maya Lagerstam, and Murphy Taylor Smith.
Fowl Play will be directed by Tony nominee John Tartaglia. It features music and lyrics by Billy Recce and a book by Recce and Yoni Weiss. The musical comedy follows two queer musical theatre writers who are commissioned to write an apology musical for a certain homophobic fried chicken corporation.
The works—by artists like Ty Defoe, Jeanette Harrison, Angélica Negrón, Javaad Alipoor, and more—are the first in a planned multi-year series of multi-disciplinary works about our government.
Jeff Cohen's autobiographical comedy centers on his eccentric father, Stan “Squeaky” Cohen, a man who was banned from every Old Country Buffet in metro Baltimore.
