FALSETTOS - James Lapine and Jennifer Brier, PhD
In November, James Lapine - the Tony Award-winning librettist of FALSETTOS - attended a Preview performance and generously participated in a post-show conversation with Professor Jennifer Brier, PhD, in which they discussed FALSETTOS, its history, and the AIDS epidemic.
We were thrilled to welcome James and Jennie to this production, and we appreciate them sharing their warmth and insight with the audience. If you were unable to attend in person, check out this highlights reel, and watch the full conversation on our YouTube channel → https://bit.ly/JamesAndJennie
Thank you to James, Jennie, and the audience for such a wonderful discussion.
