Had the opportunity to see this Friday night and highly recommend checking out this first look at a new musical created by local writer-actors Miranda Ferriss Jones and Vanessa Dunleavy and directed by Doug Anderson.

Showing Up is a new musical performed by these two women and tells the story of growing up in small-town Vermont and their journey from high school musicals to broadway dreams. Life took them through New York stages, success and disappointments, the loss of old dreams and the creation of new ones. And through it all their friendship endured. Performing with a live band, this show is funny, tuneful, and topical. Even though this bills as a workshop, it doesn't feel like one.

Showing Up will have it's world premiere at Town Hall Theater in March. After the performance the audience is invited to stay for a post-show feedback opportunity, which will help shape the creation of the script for the premiere in March.
