I am perpetually impressed by the caliber of work that is featured in our New Work Development Reading nights or festivals. The Past. Present. Future. Reading night on March 31, 2026 was no exception, there were 3 new plays featured and they were fantastic. Ocean Harris, our Interim New Work Development Director, curated a moving, stimulating and thought provoking night of new works - WELL DONE Ocean and THANK YOU for working so hard to create this wonderful night.

When I first got the idea that I wanted to do a cabaret at AMT, I had no idea what went into creating a show like this. I remember in my first meeting with Tony about the show, walking in and thinking that we would just pick a date, I would sing some songs on said date, and we’d be set. I hadn’t thought about theme, fundraising, hiring a music director and stage manager, making a poster, or even coming up with a title. I was lost.
