LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts / Broad Stage Official Website) As part of her Saturday Morning Mash-Up series, passionately innovative conductor Rachael Worby, Artistic
Director of MUSE/IQUE, offers a kid-friendly version of Prokofiev's
Peter and the Wolf in which classical music becomes cool. Add in special guest narrators - Golden
Globe winning actress Wendie Malick (Just Shoot Me, Hot In Cleveland) and Dan Lauria (The Wonder Years, ED, JAG) - and they will leave you and your family gasping (and texting) for joy. Before you know it, the line between orchestra and audience disappears. Performances take place at 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM on November 5, 2011.
Worby, who spends more than half the performance off the stage directly engaging the kids and families, brings her lifelong passions for people and music to the experience of the Saturday Morning Mash-Ups. As Artistic
Director of MUSE/IQUE, Worby is renowned for mixing high culture with casual whimsy. She has engaged writer Matt Nix to create the text for a group of actors, including Malick and Lauria, who will each be paired with an instrument. Additional cast members are
David Fickas, Kiele Sanchez, Amy Acker, Jay Karnas and Bradley Whitford as...the wolf!
Nix is an American writer, producer and director best known for creating and executive producing the USA Network television series Burn Notice, now entering its sixth season, and the cult-favorite comedy The Good Guys.
