PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:

SHAINA TAUB is a Vermont-raised, New York-based songwriter and performer. Winner of a Jonathan Larson Grant and Ars Nova’s 2012 Composer-in-Residence, she made her Lincoln Center solo concert debut in their 2015 American Songbook series. Her musical adaptation of Twelfth Night, commissioned by the Public Theater, conceived with and directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah, will be presented this summer at the Delacorte Theater as part of their Public Works initiative. She wrote songs for and co-starred in Bill Irwin and David Shiner's Old Hats, directed by Tina Landau at the Signature Theatre and A.CT.. She earned a Lucille Lortel Award nomination as Princess Mary in Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, performed and arranged the songs of Tom Waits in A.R.T.’s production of The Tempest, directed by Teller of Penn & Teller, and sang with Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in her psycho-opera, Stop The Virgens, at St. Ann’s Warehouse and the Sydney Opera House.
Jason Robert Brown is the ultimate multi-hyphenate – an equally skilled composer, lyricist, conductor, arranger, orchestrator, director and performer – best known for his dazzling scores to several of the most renowned musicals of his generation, including “The Bridges of Madison County,” for which Jason received the 2014 Tony Awards for Best Score and Best Orchestrations, the recently revived “The Last Five Years”, his debut song cycle “Songs for a New World”, and the seminal “Parade”, winner of the 1999 Best Score Tony. The New York Times refers to Jason as “a leading member of a new generation of composers who embody high hopes for the American musical.”
