NEXT UP: World Premiere of Nightsong: A New Vampire Musical. If you love vampires and are within driving (or train or bus ride) distance of Rhode Island, please consider coming to see Nightsong. It features music by yours truly, Kari Tieger and another composer friend, Kevin Campbell, with the Book written and directed by Jon Brennan. Performances are November 5th, 6th, and 7th at 8 PM, with a Sunday matinee at 2 PM.

Here’s a plot teaser: Robert is a 300-year old vampire, who’s been feeling off lately. It doesn’t help that Vivienne, his eternal lover, has grown increasingly cold over the years; she views humans as little more than a source of sustenance, while Robert still finds them fascinating. However, a new conquest soon catches Robert’s eye: Andrea a naive human who’s been widowed for nearly two years. Desperate to be closer to her — but not wanting to pursue her physically — Robert calls upon an ancient, forbidden power known as the Nightsong. Using this power, Robert enters Andrea’s dreams while she sleeps, drawing her fragile mind ever closer to him.

We are putting this Broadway-style musical on in a huge de-sanctified Church!! Please consider attending. Tickets are $8 in advance, $12 at the door, available at www.eptheatre.org

HOPE TO SEE SOME OURSTAGE FRIENDS THERE!
