PRODUCTION DEVELOPMENT

As a result of the Signature showcase, WALK ON THROUGH was produced by the acclaimed MCC Theater Off-Broadway November 13, 2023 - January 7, 2024.
Founded by Co-Artistic Directors, Bernie Telsey, Bob LuPone, and Will Cantler, MCC Theater is one of the most exciting and innovative Off- Broadway theaters in New York City; a non-profit that is celebrated for the development and presentation of daring new works.
