Joe Fabal [Intermediate Faculty '06-'09] is the composer/lyricist for the musical entitled The Tenth Floor that was accepted into the 2010 New York Musical Theatre Festival—the world's largest festival of its type. “This is easily the single most important professional event for me,” says Joe, “In case you happened to be around NYC between 9/27 and 10/10, you might want to stop by and see it!” The heavy plot is set to a contemporary score with touches of rock and salsa. Joe also composed the music and lyrics for Help Wanted: Pirates!, a children’s musical that recently premiered this July at the Millbrook Playhouse.
Jordan Harrison (Junior Faculty '05-'06) has also pursued numerous theatrical endeavors since working as an Explo Admission's Officer in 2008. “I checked off one item on my list of childhood dreams by playing numerous superheroes, henchmen, and other comic books figures in the smash hit world premiere of The Superheroine Monologues,” says Jordan. He also had an amazing opportunity, originating the role of Mint in the never-before-seen The Remarkable Rooming-House of Mme. Le Monde, a world premiere play by the late Tennessee Williams. Jordan also toured Boston metro area schools performing as Bottom and Demetrius in A Midsummer Night's Dream with Shakespeare NOW theater company.
