Off To Make “The Wizard …”

Lauren and Waterwell are off to Indiana University for a whirlwind adventure!

Bringing such NY/LA actors as Jordan Gelber and Nicole Parker along with us, we’ll be working with IU students and faculty to bring to life our newest piece: “The Wizard of Wall Street.” It’s a musical about the financier/railroad executive Jay Gould, known to some as the “Mephistopheles of Wall Street” and the “Robbingest of the Robber Barons.”

Thanks to support from Premiere Musicals and Eli Lilly, Waterwell and Indiana University have teamed up to devise our brand new piece about little known robber baron Jay Gould. We’ve cast our brilliant student performers and are now hosting a week-long devising workshop with them at our beloved alma mater. Performances at IU will be in late August. But New Yorkers will be getting sneak peeks of material before then. Stay tuned!
