Creative Alliance at the Patterson in Baltimore, Maryland: TICKETS

Movin' and Groovin'

It's been a busy past couple of weeks for the production team here at the Bull Moose Party. Over the past weekend the playwright and lead of the upcoming Woody Guthrie Dreams production Michael Patrick Flanagan Smith as well as recording artist and fellow actor playing Cisco Houston Caleb Stine, hosted a fundraising event in Baltimore which helped boost interest in the play as well as our production coffers. Thanks to all those who attended it was a wonderful evening of music and conversation. We look forward to seeing you in NYC when the show opens in September.

July 14th is Woody Guthrie's Birthday and what better way to celebrate than with a concert at Rockwood Music Hall http://www.rockwoodmusichall.com/ on the Lower East Side of Manhattan from 9pm-11pm featuring many awesome musicians plus the possibility of a surprise guest or two. All proceeds will go to help the upcoming production of the play in the fall.

Were really excited as we move into July. The play's production team is coming together and casting for the show begins very, very soon. The whole group is really excited to get into the rehearsal room and we have an incredible collection of formidable talent ready to dive into this amazing play. We can't wait to share Woody's dreams with you.

Big Week!!
