The reading, directed and choreographed by Carollette Phillips, features members of the Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit and special guests, with music direction by Delashea Strawder and technical supervision by Jonah Verdon.
The reading is the latest in the Plays in the House Jr./Teen Edition series, executive produced by Wesley and Rudetsky.
