Billed as a cross between "Monty Python" and "Candide," their newest work will be directed by University alumnus Scott Weinstein, with music direction by Ryan T. Nelson.

Kooman and Dimond are in residence on the University's campus through May 22, working with a cast of eight undergraduate actos to workshop the piece before its staged presentation. The residency is made possible by AMTP, whose mission it is to bridge the gap between the educational and professional theatre communities. To learn more visit AMTP.

The team's The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes, will be presented as part of the 2015 Goodspeed Festival of New Musicals in Connecticut.
