From George Perez: The female shapes will be kept as outlines (again, not knowing who will be cast) and the background will be black) Also, the number '9" will probably be changed to the spelled out "NINE" on the back of the director's chair.
This is the program cover/lobby poster I created for the upcoming Moonlight Players production NINE. I love working on these pieces since it allows me to work in totally different styles that set them apart from my comics work.

Take the hijinks of the commedia dell'arte, add those zany
characters including Geppetto, Fire Eater, Fox and Cat, and the most
wonderful Blue Fairy imaginable then mix in a nonstop adventure, and
you're all set to raise the curtain. The house-on-fire pacing will leave
you breathless, the hilarious comedy will leave you laughing, and some
unexpectedly touching moments will leave you loving this Pinocchio even
more. By William Glennon. With permission of Dramatists Publishing.

successes of all time. Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, and
featuring a sparkling score by Stephen Schwartz, "Godspell" boasts a
string of well-loved songs, led by the international hit, "Day By Day."
As the cast performs "Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord," "Learn Your

and "By My Side," the parables of Jesus Christ come humanly and
hearteningly to life. Drawing from various theatrical traditions, such

is a groundbreaking and unique reflection on the life of Jesus, with a
message of kindness, tolerance and love. With permission of Music

Yankees Lost The Pennant by Douglass Wallop. Middle-aged baseball
fanatic Joe Boyd trades his soul to the Devil (the charming but devious
Mr. Applegate) for a chance to lead his favorite team to victory in the
pennant race against the New York Yankees. As young baseball sensation
Joe Hardy, he transforms the hapless Washington Senators into a winning
team, only to realize the true worth of the life (and wife) he's left
behind. With the help of a handy escape clause and a guilt-ridden
temptress named Lola, Joe outsmarts Applegate, returns to his former
self and shepherds the Senators to the World Series. With permission of

Thornton Wilder. Described by Edward Albee as “…the greatest
American play ever written,” the story follows the small town of
Grover’s Corners through three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage,”
and “Death and Eternity.” Narrated by a stage manager and performed with
minimal props and sets, audiences follow the Webb and Gibbs families as
their children fall in love, marry, and eventually—in one of the most
famous scenes in American theatre—die. With permission of Samuel French.
