On The Twentieth Century

I served as the Associate Music Director and Conductor (like a train!) for Blank Theatre Company’s production of On the Twentieth Century. The staff was Director Danny Kapinos, Music Director Aaron Kaplan, Choreographer Jen Cupani, and Stage Manager Kyle Aschbrenner.

We had a very fun time aboard this train, and we performed at the Bramble Arts Loft in Andersonville. The larger-than-life Oscar Jaffe (Max DeTogne) and star of the century Lily Garland (Karylin Veres) interact both as ex-lovers and ex-artistic partners, as Owen O’Malley (Dustin Rothbart) and Oliver Webb (Nick Arceo) try to get her to sign a contract to secure Oscar’s future.
