Release follows for a one-off one-act musical at Playwrights Theatre. A lot of people arounf the Jersey Stage scene know Jewel Seehaus-Fisher, a resident of Highland Park who writes a lot of plays and is even better at getting them produced and promoted.
Here, she's put a book to some old songs. Sounds like fun. I recently enjoyed the premiere of her drama, "My Sister Underground," at the Womens Theater Company. So, if you are looking for something old and new, go for "Baroque" and head to Madison.
Off to work--put my home and garden editor hat on.
