THE SHOW’S JOURNEY
FIRST staged Reading
NYC - RIPLEY GRIER, FEB. 2022
"It's funny, but ever since I was young, people used to ask me, "Chryssie, what are you on?!" and I would say, "Life, people, you!"
Phone call from Italy: "Ciao, Momma, Buon Giorno! Um, Momma, I just got an email from Charles...." Silence. "What did he say?" "Umm, he said that..."
From Left to Right: Music Director: Nick Wilders Producer: Kirsten Wrinkle Director: Bryan Knowlton Mentor: Elaine Petricoff
After the first staged reading with only three in the audience, plus filmmaker, Blake Zelesinikar with BZ FILMS.
The end of our reading with wonderful feedback to keep us going. Photos were captured by Joy Kilpatrick who is directing the film version.
I wouldn't be doing this show without the love and financial support from the iconic, Kirsten Wrinkle. After the reading, in tears, "I feel hope."
The full team and family behind it all. Adding Joy Kilpatrick, film director and photographer on the far right.
