Alexandra and I were so proud of all our little minions last week as we brought “Tangled” to our alma mater! We got some great feedback from the (rather small) audience and are hard at work doing revisions in preparation for the next big slew of festival and grant applications coming our way.

(Also, in spite of some factual shenaniganry, I must make hearty thanks to the Chronicle reviewer who wrote, “Sanderlin’s music certainly adds a great deal to the show, allowing the characters to communicate their problems by way of impressive a cappella harmonies.”)

As a little treat… click HERE for some of demos from the show! We’re very excited to announce a reading at The Theater for the New City in January complete with a full cast and a *gasp* director!

Stay tuned!

In other Mark news, I’m having a blast in the BMI Musical Theater Writing Workshop and meeting all sorts of wonderful creative peoples. I’m also now a few days into the rehearsal process for “The Threepenny Opera” at Hofstra and am really enjoying slogging through the enigma which is the Brecht/Weill collaboration. In homage, check out the original “Mack the Knife” and the wonderful creepiness that was the Alan Cumming/Cyndi Lauper production. Wish I could have seen it…
