An honest process of discovery and RESPECT: The Making of Song of Solomon

-
It's simply so thrilling to be surrounded by people who would simply die for the work. People who are not afraid to give it all and risk failing for the commitment to the project. It is so magical to question the material each morning in every single rehearsal and with the questions find the answers that give life to the relationship, the music and more. So far this has been my experience working as Director and General Manager with Salgado Productions for the new musical Song Of Solomon.

I will let the exclusive pictures by Victoria Medina do all the talking for me:




SONG OF SOLOMON is a new musical created by Andrew Beall and Neil Van Leeuwen.



The musical is a tragic, epic romance, based on the Biblical Song of Songs. Set in ancient Israel, we follow the secret romance between King Solomon and a brilliant young vineyard girl, Almah, who inspires the most famous love poetry of all time. The stakes are Solomon's life, the woman he loves, and the fate of Israel."



Evan McCormack plays King Solomon opposite Ann McCormack who plays Almah.

 



 The cast includes Danicah Waldo, Casey Manning, Levin Valayil, Jonathan D. Morales, Rocio Lopez, Shannen Rae, Alessandra Baldacchino, and Tony Paterniti, with a supporting ensemble of Anthony Logan Cole, Aaron Dalla Villa, Dylan C. Digel, Tim Fitzsimons, Leslie Kyle Hudson, Andrea Nevil, Jennifer O'Neill, Irene Patino, Hannah Rable, Megan Tischhauser, Greg Uliasz, & Charlie Willis.


The show features Music Direction by Eugene Gwozdz, Lighting Design Consultant Herrick Goldman, Scenic Design Consultant Kate Rance, Costume Design Consultant Harry Nadal, Asst. Director Valeria Cossu and Production Supervisor Heather Hogan.




SONG OF SOLOMON will play The Actors Temple on August 26, 29 and 31, 2014.

Journey Through London: 21 Shows in 10 Days

This is for sure A Theatre Lover’s Journey  Over the past 10 days, I had the opportunity to see 21 shows in London—an experience that has left me utterly inspired and reaffirmed my passion for theatre. I still can't quite believe I managed to catch so many performances in such a short time! This reminds me of my time at the  Festival de Otoño  in Spain, where I also had a similar immersive art experience, or my time in Oregon recently. There's something about these moments that allow me to recharge, creatively and spiritually. As I reflect on this whirlwind theatre adventure, I can't help but chuckle at how many people ask me, "Why so many shows?" It’s funny, but my answer is always the same: Theatre is life. it's my craft, my profession nd my PASSION! It's also a way to refocus, connect with purpose, and yes, indulge in great meals and magical moments with like-minded friends. From laughter that left me in tears to moments of profound emotional depth, Lon...

Creating Space for Art and Connection

-

Do You Have a Space for Art That Transforms? There is a profound need for our voices, our stories, and our shared experiences to be heard—especially now, when the call for unity and understanding is stronger than ever. I stand for creating spaces where art and human connection intersect to inspire, empower, and transform. So I ask:  Do you have a space for me, for US? I mean it. Through every project, my goal is to share authentic stories that celebrate the richness of my Latin heritage and roots, and to honor the important power of art. Art can elevate, it can unite, it can bring us together in ways that truly matter. If you know of a theater space or need an Artistic Director ready to bring a battalion of artists to share their voices, I am ready—and so is my community. With each moment, I am reminded of the beauty and power of our voices, our cultural fusions, and the magic that happens when dance, theater, and storytelling come together with purpose. I see art as a path that co...
