"American
Rock" has been created by some of the finest talents working in the
fields of comedy, music and theatre, including award-winning director
and writer Stephen Rosenfield, and award-winning composer and musical
director Dick Gallagher.
Stephen Rosenfield
has directed at The Roundabout Theatre, The Ensemble Studio Theatre,
The Actor's Studio and is the Director of the American Comedy Institute.
Dick Gallagher composed the music for the hit Off-Broadway show, WHEN
PIGS FLY, which played in New York for two years. As a musical director,
Gallagher has worked with singers including Patti Lupone and has received
eight MAC Awards for musical direction. Both artists worked with Rock
on "The Rock Albers Show" and "Rock 2," which have been playing to
full houses in New York City for more than four years. Albers' previous
work has garnered rave reviews.
In the new
show Albers rants about U.S. Presidents, Girl Scout cookies, the Supreme
Court and the astrological imbalance in Congress. Rock will debut
parody songs about President Bush, Senator John Kerry, former President
Clinton and Senator Hillary Rodman Clinton as well as gay marriage
and the Halliburton Corporation.
Also contributing
material for the new show are theater veterans Scott Logsdon and Philip
A. Campanella. Logsdon has written three volumes of the acclaimed,
cult internet serial, THE GLAMOROUS LIFE, as well as material for
Jason Alexander and Broadway's GYPSY OF THE YEAR. Campanella, who
for years served as Musical Director and Composer-in-Residence for
New York's Roundabout Theatre, is the Executive Director of the Singers
Forum.
