WELCOME TO STILLWATER SCHOOL
FOR MOSQUITOS

                                                                                         2021/22
Welcome to a special preview of STILLWATER SCHOOL FOR MOSQUITOS!

The pandemic has given The Musical Stage Company the gift of our first ever summer

                                                                                         W E L C O M E T O S T I L LWAT E R S C H O O L F O R M O S Q U I T O S
program. As such, we wanted to share something with younger audiences who would
normally be in school or in bed during our season in order to inspire the same sense
of excitement and creativity that our adult audiences experience when encountering
a new musical in development. What a pleasure to host Peter Fernandes, Hailey
Gillis, Qasim Khan, Courtney Ch’ng Lancaster, and Jennifer Villaverde – all of whom
have a history with The Musical Stage Company in different artistic capacities – to
preview their imaginative and whimsical new musical in development, inspired by The
Mosquito Brothers by Griffin Ondaatje.

As a musical that is very much in the middle of being developed, this morning’s
performance is not only an entertaining concert unto itself, but also a chance to
learn how artists make work – what kinds of ideas are they playing with, what is their
process and where do they go from here? More importantly, it’s a chance for you – our
audience – to play an integral role in the development of this delightful family show
by peeking behind the curtain and offering this creative team the chance to test out
their material.

Thank you for being here today. And welcome back to live theatre!

                                                                         There are lots of friends working together on this particular play - writers like Griffin
