One of the great byproducts of Striking 12 getting licensed here and there, is that occasionally we get to meet people who played us. Val and I are trading off for two weeks, with one of us working on Toy Story The Musical on site in Anaheim while the other stays home and takes the [...]

We’ve just been notified that Birmingham-Southern College will be producing STRIKING 12 this season, with 12 actors + 6 onstage musicians. One of the first college productions of our show, it’s also certainly one of the largest/most ambitious. We wish we could see it ourselves, but unfortunately can’t travel to Alabama. If you’re in the [...]
