Actors Theatre of Indiana presents Mr. Confidential this Saturday

Be where it all began … a story of dreams, love, scandal

Actors Theatre of Indiana (ATI) presents the next in their Lab Series, ATI Theatre LAB No. 3: Mr. Confidential.

This musical, with story and lyrics by Samuel Garza Bernstein and music by David Snyder, will be given a staged reading performance at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 12 at The Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

This is a story of family, dreams, innocence, love and scandal. When Bob Harrison created Confidential Magazine in 1952, he gave the public gossip, humor and sex. But he also offered something totally unexpected – the truth about the rich and famous. It quickly became the No. 1 selling magazine in America. Soon, Bob wasn’t just telling the story, he was the story, with headlines, scandals and a wild ride of his own. Come see a giddy, vibrant tale set in New York and Hollywood at their most glamourous and dangerous.

ATI launched the Theatre LAB Series program as a commitment to nurturing new plays and playwrights. Playwrights submit their plays to ATI, and those chosen enjoy an intensive weekend of work shopping, discussion, and development with a cast of professional actors and directors in a creative laboratory setting. Each play has a reading and a talk-back session with ATI audiences, staff, cast and the playwright.

Tickets for this next show in ATI’s Lab Series are only $10. You’ll be able to say you were there when it all began as you take in the original production of the musical Mr. Confidential.
