The concert will be directed and choreographed by Merete Muenter, with Caleb Hoyer serving as Music Director and Keith Levenson conducting the orchestra.

American Theater Group (ATG), founded in 2012, produces new and classic works primarily by American playwrights with an emphasis on the development of new works and the rediscovery of undeservedly neglected older ones. The group will soon begin its residence at the Mitchell and Ann Sieminski Theater at the Fellowship Cultural Arts Center in Basking Ridge, NJ.  ATG programming is made possible in part by funds from Investors Bank and the Somerset County Cultural & Heritage Commission, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
