Help build METROPOLIS!

With the production opening in the second half of 2002, it may seem a long time before work needs to start on "Metropolis" at The Pentacle.

But that is incorrect.

Work HAS already started.

This is the single most complex show ever done at The Pentacle, surpassing "HAiR" and "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" in its need for many months of pre-production work.

Director Randy Bowser has begun the research, as indicated on this detailed website. Soon, he will be arranging the show's score with the largest array of synthesizers he's ever used for a theatre production. That music project will take approximately a year to do full theatre shaking justice to Academy Award winning Joseph Brook's score.

But there are MANY creative projects which people may begin work on ASAP. After all, an entire mega-Metropolis has to be created!
