WALT KELLY'S SONGS OF THE POGO opens this Wednesday, April 10 at 6pm at the Wild Project theater at 195 E. 3rd Street in New York City. Fellow Co-Producer and Musical Director Ben Masterton who lives in Florida has been at every rehearsal for this show via Zoom. It was like having him in the room. The show's singing is incredible! The six actor cast work beautifully together. They love playing with Walt Kelly's language. Co-Producer and Director Frank Farrell and Ben Masterton have worked on performing Walt Kelly's writing since the early 1990s in Chicago. This production opening on Wednesday is the result of the past 3 years of performing Kelly's words; a Zoom film submitted to film festivals, an eight episode podcast and now this live off-off-Broadway AEA approved Showcase production. The show is part of the New York City Fringe Festival running through April 21, 2O24. Thank you to our recent donors helping us to get to where we are, opening this show on Wednesday. If interested, you can find SONGS OF THE POGO at GoFundMe to donate and help us pay the bills for this labor of love. Join the Pogo team!
