A writer arrives in his white-walled, sixth floor walk-up
in New York, ready to tenaciously take on the city and get
his novel published. Recounting his various misadventures
in a series of letters to his love, he is forced to deal
with the people he left behind before he can move forward.
Shonn Wiley stars in the one-man musical about humor,
creativity and resilience in the face of tragic events.
Wiley, who portrayed Younger Brother in the recent
critically acclaimed Paper Mill Playhouse production of
RAGTIME, has been seen on Broadway in 42ND STREET and
DRACULA. Wiley also played Young Josh on the daytime serial
"The Guiding Light."
"The show was inspired by a period of time when I couldn't
write," says composer/lyricist/bookwriter Timothy Huang. "I
lost a friend in the spring of ‘02 and it wasn't until
about twelve months later, after my niece was born, that
any kind of music came out, and in a very short time I had
written what was to become the finale of THE VIEW FROM
HERE." Huang, who received his MFA in musical theatre
writing from NYU, won an audience award in last year’s
festival with his musical AND THE EARTH MOVED.
Director Elizabeth Lucas produces and directs in New York,
Atlantic City and regionally, as well as for film. Her
twice awarded 15-minute movie musical ISABELLA RICO has
played over 30 film festivals. She is also one of the
Founders of the New York Musical Theatre Festival, and
developed the Movie Musical Screening Series in its first
year. Lucas’ production company, Glass Bubble Productions,
is dedicated to developing musically driven stories in
whatever media best suits them.
The production team also includes musical director David
Epstein, Tim Byrnes on Trumpet, Dan Ordower (Lighting
Design), Valerie Lau-Kee Lai (Stage Manager) and casting by
Michael Cassara.
Dedicated to discovering new work and new artists, The New
York Musical Theatre Festival celebrates the diversity,
