Theatre Now will present an invitation-only industry reading of the new musical Confessions October 20 in New York City.

Based on Tom Rastrelli's memoir Confessions of a Gay Priest, the musical adaptation features a book and lyrics by Jonathan Keebler with music by Bob Kelly, two gay men who were raised Catholic. Joe Barros will direct with Ian Miller providing music direction. 

The cast will feature Conor Crowley (Bat Out of Hell), Dan Hoy (Pirates!, Harmony), Jonny Cortes (Gollum Owned a Tropical Smoothie), Jesse Swimm (School of Rock, Mary Poppins), Noah Cornwell (Drunk Shakespeare), John F. Higgins (Succession), Nicholas Kraft (Drag: The Musical), Jillian Louis (It Shoulda Been You), and Jax Terry (Beatsville).

The two-act musical drama, about love and the search for meaning, explores the intertwining of sexuality and spirituality through the true story of a modern-day gay priest.

General management will be provided by Theatre Now with casting by Erik Schark. Industry members interested in attending can email [email protected].
