CAMP WANATACHI: A New Musical — FringeNYC Press Release
13 YEAR OLD CHRISTIAN LESBIAN IS CUTEST THING EVER!
(New York City, NY) Spirit-soaked and hormone-charged, CAMP WANATACHI is the new musical comedy about two 13-year-old-girls who fall in love at Christian summer camp.
Written and composed by Natalie Elizabeth Weiss of Unicornicopia, and produced by Bridget Regan (star of Disney-ABC’s LEGEND OF THE SEEKER) and Ian Pai (Co-Founder of Blue Man Group and Musical Director of Fischerspooner), this genre-mashing musical will be performed five times in the New York International Fringe Festival 2009.
With a live orchestra, sick beats by glitch hero Machinedrum and songs like “We All Need Jesus in Our Lives” and “Let’s Ride Bareback”, this nostalgic musical is super futuristic.
Praise for other productions helmed by Ian Pai:
“Blue Man Group is one of the most delightful performance pieces ever staged in NYC Theatre.” – New York Times
“Blue Man Group is perfect entertainment…so much fun it has to be experienced to be believed.” – Chicago Tribune
Praise for Machinedrum:
“…street-smart, book-smart, beat-smart genius. [9 out of 10].” - Pitchfork.com
