The show was developed with support by the Gracie Annabelle Fund for the Arts and the Rhode Island Foundation.
Composer and lyricist Will Davis has also written a science fiction musical titled And Then, which premiered in the Fringe a couple of years ago. He recently performed in the acclaimed immersive show, The Girl who Handcuffed Houdini. Will regularly performs with his band Cardboard Rocketship throughout New York City. Company members Hood Adrain, and Ana Cristina Schuler will be performing and sharing direction alongside Kayla Yee, Alex Smith, Vincent Cinque, and Roxanne Quilty.
What Will the Neighbors Say? is a new theatre company based in New York City with a global perspective. WWTNS? creates theatre that examines historical, social, political and economic narratives that have been disregarded, misrepresented, or otherwise untold in order to provoke discourse in our audience and community. WWTNS? maintains a consistent commitment to diversity, arts education, community outreach, and artistic experimentation.
The FringeCLUB is a hub for innovative and risky work by some of New York's most exciting new artistic voices. To increase diverse audience accessibility, all events are priced between $7 and $12.
