UrbanArias: Inbox Zero (staged reading)
$25
- Keith Phares, baritone
UrbanArias has teamed up once again with the acclaimed composer and librettist team Peter Hilliard and Matt Boresi to premiere Inbox Zero, a new work from Hilliard and Boresi. Inbox Zero is the story of Jackie, a man whose desire for monetary gain supersedes his understanding of human nature. As he struggles to provide for his wife and child, an internet scam captures his imagination and attention, and he is soon embroiled in an imagined international intrigue that convinces him to drain the family bank account in hopes of a million dollar get-rich quick scheme. The monodrama features baritone Keith Phares, with members of the Inscape Orchestra conducted by UrbanArias Artistic Director Robert Wood. Dennis Whitehead Darling directs. This presentation is a staged workshop reading, focusing on the words and music rather than a full production.
A talkback with the creators will follow the performance.
