I am overwhelmed by the incredible response to “Sondheim In September”!  

As we are getting closer to our first concert date of September 21st, we are inundated with the practical tasks of executing this ambitious project.  As Warren and I have been coordinating this endeavor since February, (thanks very much to his efforts here in Toronto), we have assembled for this production, an incredible team of individuals. With well over 100 artists participating, the performers, our musical directors, and our creative team have far exceeded my expectations.  Beyond my love for Sondheim’s material, I am humbled by the extraordinary time and effort these individuals are putting forth for this very worth cause.  

Amongst them, I am happy to report that Joe Foley at “Christie Lites” has generously agreed to provide us with our lighting for all three concerts.  Financially this is a boon for us, and will allow us to allocate additional proceeds from our ticket sales to go towards The Actor’s Fund, rather than to productions costs...so Thank-You Christie Lites!  If you’re in need, you can check them out online at www.christielites.com.  

Ticket sales couldn’t be stronger.  We are very close to selling out the first performance, and the later weeks are filling up fast.  I am very much looking forward to this week as we’re leading up to the September 21st performance.  There is much to do!  Not only will we be treated to hearing the repertoire sung and explored for the first time by this tremendous cast, but as I’m blocking and staging, we’ll get to imagine the first inklings of the work on it’s feet, which is always exciting.  

If you’re just visiting this site, or if you’re a part of our cast, or if you’re here to pick up seats for this tremendous occasion, thank you for stopping by and I look forward to seeing you soon! 

Cordially,
Peter Huck
Producer/Director
