An invitation-only reading of Dolhinov, a new musical inspired by events from the Polish town of Dolhinov during World War II, will be held in Manhattan February 20.

Directed by Arpita Mukherjee with music direction by Connor Doran, the cast will be led by Noah Kieserman (The Last Five Years), Aubrey Matalon (Six), Cydney Kutcipal (Jagged Little Pill), Noa Luz Barenblat (Fiddler on the Roof), Lucia Spina (Into the Woods), Jackson Parker Gill (A Christmas Story), Zal Owen (Harmony), Michael LePore (Sing Street), Matt McGloin (The Hello Girls), Bronwyn Tarboton (Pirates! The Penzance Musical), Christopher Riley (Law & Order SVU), Stephanie Lynn Mason (Fiddler on the Roof), and James Sasser (Teeth).

Dolhinov—featuring a book and lyrics by Helen R. Murray and music by Louis Josephson—follows the true story of a family forced to flee as their world is destroyed, who meets an unexpected ally who helps keep hope alive. Seen through 12-year-old Simon’s eyes and through the resilience of wounded resistance fighter Kiselev, the musical asks: Can a broken person fix the world?

The creative team also includes stage manager Kyra Bowie, associate music director Miguel Sutedjo, child guardian Eitan Markowitz, and production assistants Ella Lao and Gabriella Rita Pafumi, with casting by Kevin Metzger-Timson and Olivia West of TRC Casting. General management is by Zachary Hausman Productions.

Dolhinov is produced by Brian Chevlin of Butterfly Theatrical Productions LLC.
