Rain on the Parade: a New Musical!
An incendiary new musical, Rain on the Parade follows the survivors of the Chronus Theatre Fire as they attempt to remount a mysterious, potentially-cursed play. In an uncertain world, how do we manage our dreams, our fears, and our deepest wishes?
A hilarious, absurd, and compelling new work from award-winning playwright Evan Brown and award-winning composer Garry Williams, Rain on the Parade features Garrett Barker, Dan Bray, Laura Caswell, Pasha Ebrahimi, Jacob Hemphill, Colleen MacIsaac, Misha Bakshi, Katherine Norris, and Sam Vigneault.
