    Little Tragedies: Mozart and Salieri & The Stone Guest needs a PRODUCER, MUSICAL DIRECTOR AND STAGE MANAGER

    Seeking a Producer , Musical Director  and Stage Manager ! Easter Week 8 Corpus Playroom Mainshow is looking for production team! In the plays that will appear in the double bill of Pushkin's Little Tragedies, you can find: an eternal conflict of a jealous hard-working craftsman with a careless genius, a life in pursuit of eros that culminates in a well-deserved, yet tragically picturesque death, poison in a glass of wine, and the Stone Guest statue coming alive to take revenge on his murderer. This is Russian drama at its finest, created by a poet under censorship, at the height of his creative glory.
