Rehearsal for Life, a non-profit leader in the Boston area’s creative youth development sector, has announced its new Banned in Boston musical to be presented live on stage at Roadrunner Boston on April 27, 2023. The 2023 performance will once again be written and scored by award-winning creative Faith Soloway, Artistic Director of Rehearsal for Life and co-writer of Amazon’s award-winning show Transparent. Tickets and sponsorships to the popular, annual event are available at www.BannedInBoston.org.
This year’s musicalesque romp, Banned in Boston: Funderdome, will feature more than two dozen Boston-area politicians, celebrities, philanthropists, and business leaders, performing on-stage and on-screen, fighting it out in an exaggerated, Battle of the Network Stars-style competition between fictional organizations trying to raise money in challenging times. The cast list to this year’s musical comedy show will be announced in the coming weeks.
All proceeds benefit Rehearsal for Life’s creative youth development programs: Urban Improv, a no-cost program in its 30th year, serving 1,400+ Boston Public School students grades 4–12 every year; Youth Unscripted, a stipended after school community building and leadership program serving 25 teens from across Boston, and founding program Freelance Players, an after school theater program serving 200 youth ages 8-16 in Boston and surrounding suburbs.
