This year’s festival promises 19 events over five days in all manner of venues from hotels and theatre foyers to winding alleyways and the Cataract Gorge. Artistic Director Tyran Parke’s wide-ranging program includes three inventively staged musicals: John Bucchino’s It’s Only Life, Marry Me A Little, which features material cut from Stephen Sondheim’s shows, and Maury Yeston’s Nine. Headline performers include Kerrie Anne Greenland, Josh Piterman, Patrice Tipoki and Queenie van de Zandt.
