UNDER-EXPOSED
is the brainchild of producer David Leidholdt, teaming up with director
Jamibeth Margolis, in conjunction with Opia's Lionel Casseroux, and
was created as a venue for writers to develop and present new material.
As the title suggests, The Men's Songbook will highlight songs written
for men by writers who have already been attracting some serious attention.
Renowned
producer and party-planner Lionel Casseroux previously worked for
The Supper Club amd has now taken up producing duties at Opia. Producer
David Leidholdt has developed new works with organizations such as
the New York Musical Theatre Festival, Genesius Theatre Guild and
Midtown International Theatre Festival. The evening is conceived and
directed by Jamibeth Margolis, who most recently directed in the New
York Musical Theatre Festival. Musical Direction will be by Ben Cohen,
currently playing keyboards for the Broadway musical Wicked. The talent
line-up for UNDER-EXPOSED will feature some of Broadway's brightest
leading men: Gilles Chiasson, Graham Rowat, D.B. Bonds and William
Broderick.
UNDER-EXPOSED
will present its next installment, The Music of Brian Lowdermilk and
Kait Kerrigan, on December 12th at 7:00 pm. This young writing team
