This is a song from my episode of
Washeteria:
A site specific, immersive theater piece for children. Louisa Thompson
designed a fantastical laundromat inside an former auto parts store
in Brooklyn. I wrote a mini-musical for the piece. My episode (Directed by the luminous Annie Tippe) is called Consuela and the Great Genie of The Laundry Bag. It's about a woman trapped inside a laundromat by an evil manager, and a genie who loves granola bars.
One thing that is
interesting about this show is that that as we've been rehearsing, every
single day we are visited for an hour by a different second grade class
from The Brooklyn Arbor. I love the idea of making a musical in front
of an gaggle of squirming second graders.
