STAGED READING OF HAIGHT THE MUSICAL
A Rock Music Drama And Part Of The Hollywood Fringe Festival

June 9, 2010 – Hollywood, CA

Join us for a staged reading of the new rock music drama Haight on June 19th at 10PM at the Ruby Theatre at 6476 Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood. Haight is part of Hollywood’s first ever Fringe Festival and is the musical’s first public performance. Admission is free and the show is suitable for audiences 18 and above.

The talented cast is comprised of Ryan Bates, Carolyn Nguyen, Julian McCleary, Garrick Macatangay, Amy Shu, Susannah Kim, Jay Kim, Jim Kohatsu, Tito Benavides, Richard Martinez, and Delilah Kujala.

Composed by David Wendell Nelson, this unique work tells the story of a young man’s search for his biological parents and uncovers the heartrending tale of Aaron Thomas and Jing Po, two star-crossed lovers. As John Clark’s quest unfolds, we are thrust into the world of the early 1970s in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. Set amidst the scenic San Francisco landmarks, the story is filled with the color and brilliance of Chinatown, the outrageous lifestyle of the Haight-Ashbury residents, Vietnam protests, and a robust dose of rock and roll. John discovers the tragic story of his parents, but it is not what he expected.
