This is the first summertime production we’ve heard of. Seems perfect for a heat wave: check it out at Shenandoah Valley’s Wayside Theatre, in Middletown, VA, playing now through September 25.

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.

It’s been a whirlwind month, eventful for all of us to say the least. After returning from California to the rude shock of the frigid Brooklyn winter, we warmed our fingers and our hearts at the wonderful Zipper Factory Theatre in Manhattan, where we did seven performances of STRIKING 12 in concert, and filmed 3 [...]
