Seeds of Broadway - Fun With Jane - A New Musical Comedy

Have you ever wondered where Broadway shows come from? Or how you can see shows develop before your eyes?  The Port Washington Public Library is very happy to announce staged readings of two original shows that will be performed during the month of June in front of a live audience. 

On Saturday, June 10 at 2:30 pm join us for Fun With Jane, a concert reading of a new musical comedy in development by Perri Gaffney, Stanley Harrison, and Mitch Weiss featuring a cast of 12!  Jane is between a rock and a hard place. Tragic in love, she refuses to get involved again, but her new boss and recent promotion break down her defenses. Her first assignment gets her in deep trouble when she convinces two rich and powerful women to secretly use insider trading to raise $100 million dollars for their children's charity. Praise from her billionaire boss intoxicates her until she is threatened by a corrupt SEC agent. And then all hell breaks loose. (Please note this show is intended for an adult audience)

Each of these shows are offered under the auspices of The Farm (We Grow Theater!), a project of MW Entertainment Group.  The Farm commissions and develops the works of new writers on their way to success. Each of these performances will be produced by Broadway professionals, and performed by professional actors, all of whom appear courtesy of the Actor’s Equity Association.  Please note that registration is required.
