We're happy to announce that a grant from the Cannery Works Theater Development Fund was recently used to help complete the score for a new musical for family audiences. REALITY! tells the story of Henry Hatcher, an 11 year old who dreams of being the star of his own Reality show. When his dream comes true, Henry gets more than he bargained for, and learns some lessons about real life along the way.
Based on an original idea by Bixby Elliot, REALITY! has a book, music and lyrics by Spencer Chandler. Thank you to all who contributed to Cannery Works and the Theater Fund in the past, and thank you for contributing today or in the future to help make this and other projects come to fruition:
For your gift of $26.00, you will receive a set of Jason Covert's QUIET WORLD Art Cards. For your gift of $52.00, you will receive an autographed copy of ART & FEAR (a fairly seminal work for any artist!).
Also happy to pass along some good news regarding recently exhibited work from Jason Covert, whom many of you will remember from his striking CARNIVORA exhibition in 2010. He also has a terrific online store which contains many wonderful works for sale, some of which benefit Cannery Works. Definitely worth checking out!
Wishing you peace and good art for the holiday season and beyond,
