Crossing Brooklyn
Music by Jenny Giering, Book and Lyrics by Laura Harrington
Special musical event on the BRT Mainstage!!!
MONDAY May 17, 2010, BRT presents a new revised version of this Off-Broadway hit.
Following September 11, 2001 many Americans and New Yorkers in particular felt lost, fearful and trapped. Des was a teacher working near the towers when they fell. Haunted by her memories of a lost student she has lived her life in anxiety, fear, and despair. Perhaps with the energy of New York itself and her own determination she can overcome the emotional walls she faces. With an amazing score by Hot NYC recording artist and composer Jenny Giering and a book by acclaimed playwright Laura Harrington. CROSSING BROOKLYN dares us to think that great things might come out of tragic events and that we can all overcome our demons and see the beauty around us.
CROSSING BROOKLYN premiered in 2007 at NYC’s Transport Group, directed by Jack Cummings III.
