A new theater company premiered in #TCTheater this spring by the name of
Theatre Elision. They're following their debut production, the lovely original musical
Ragtime Women about women composers of the music known as ragtime, with the equally lovely
Goblin Market. It's always interesting to see what will define a company when it starts out, and judging by their first two pieces, Theatre Elision seems to be a company that specializes in chamber musicals written by and featuring women. I don't know about you, but I think there's definitely a place for more of that in #TCTheater. They have an ambitious first full season planned with seven productions in what appears to be the same vein (although perhaps not quite as female-focused, their next show is
Ghost Quartet by Dave Malloy, creator of
Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812). If beautifully performed, small, intimate, original or rarely produced musicals are your thing, you definitely need to check out this new and exciting entry to the #TCTheater scene.
