The Collector - Chrystal E. Williams
The Curator - Bernard Holcomb
The Mechanical Nightingale - Nicole Haslett
Conductor- Cris Frisco
Director - Kathryn M. Carter
Based on the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale, The Nightingale.
Song of the Nightingale is a contemporary fairy tale about the power of music to change hearts and find our true voice.
