Details
Live Garra Theatre raises the curtain for the audience to view open dress rehearsals of “The Window King: A Brooklyn Village Songbook.” When an image appears on a window of a young couple, the neighborhood is swept up in a whirlwind of a spectacle.
“The Window King” is about a young African-American couple who decide not to bring a child into the world. Their modest Park Slope apartment in Brooklyn, NY, turns into a free-for-all when an image appears on the window of what looks to be the Virgin Mary holding the Baby Jesus. The neighbors are captivated by the image. Crowds outside the brownstone want to pray (sing and dance) to the ‘Window King.’ Soon the hype is so widespread that the couple is swept up in this whirlwind of a spiritual spectacle.
The audience gets to see how a play becomes a musical and how the orchestration and choreography are conceived right before their eyes! Showcase presentations will be done in phases, performed as staged readings, workshops, and musical revues.
