Gingold Theatrical Group (GTG) (David Staller, Artistic Director; Isaiah Josiah, Managing Producer) will conclude the 19th season of Project Shaw with Oscar Wilde’s "The Portrait of W.H." Inspired by the works of George Bernard Shaw, Project Shaw is a special series of Script-In-Hand performances that aim to provoke peaceful discussion and activism. Each performance is followed by a lively post-show discussion with the cast and director. Directed by Mark Waldrop, reading will be presented at Symphony Space’s Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre (2537 Broadway at 95th St) on Mon June 24 at 7:00 PM. The cast of will feature Charles Busch, Jay O. Sanders, Thom Sesma, A.J. Shively. Wilde’s notorious short story theorizes who Shakespeare might truly have written his infamous Sonnets about. In Wilde's hands, the inspiration for the world's most famous poems is a beautiful young actor in Shakespeare's company. David Staller has adapted this short story to celebrate the kickoff of New York City Pride Week. The reading will be followed by a musical soirée championing the power of free thought and diversity, featuring Machine Dazzle and additional surprise guests with musical direction by Ed Goldschneider.  To learn more and reserve tickets, visit gingoldgroup.org.
