The new drama Roebling: The Story of the Brooklyn Bridge is in development for a New York City professional production. Produced through special arrangement between the author Mark Violi and Theater To Go.
Theater To Go is well known throughout the Mid Atlantic region for their unique interactive theater events and is helmed by Ruth Markoe who has produced, directed and performed throughout the region for many years.
Roebling author Mark Violi is an accomplished writer, actor and producer. He has optioned two feature film screenplays to production companies in New York and Hollywood. His plays Roebling and Riding the Comet have both had non-Equity productions at Actors’ NET of Bucks County.
Based on the true story of the Roebling family who labored against all odds to conceive, design and finally build the New York’s World-Famous Brooklyn Bridge, this play has been endorsed by the Roebling Museum and played to great acclaim in two past non-Equity productions.
Theater To Go is expected to receive non-profit status for this project in December 2011 and will begin raising tax-deductible donations immediately. This with the expectation of an Equity Showcase production in 2012 to be directed by Ruth Markoe. This showcase production is seen as a first step toward a larger New York production.
Anyone interested in producing opportunities or making a tax-deductible contribution is encouraged to contact us.
Stay tuned for more updates.
