We are honored to kick off this year's New York Innovative Theatre Awards presentation with our latest song, "Make Something New." Now in its 15th year, the New York Innovative Theatre Awards honors Off-Off Broadway productions and recognizes the individual artists who write, direct, design, stage-manage and star in those productions. Our song celebrates the creativity and ingenuity of these artists, and will be performed by Lizette Cruz, Ilana Gabrielle, Jay Paranada, and Tony Perry with musical direction by Minhui Lee. The awards ceremony will be directed by Dev Bondarin and Cotton Wright.
