Gutenberg! The blurb!

July 22, 2008
Amphibian Stage Productions — which does shows both in Fort Worth and the New York area, using talent from both places — has become a regular purveyor of some of the best things on any North Texas stage in the summertime. This year’s season starts with the company’s first Fort Worth musical, Gutenberg! The Musical! It’s another one of those zany little shows about putting on a musical. In this case, only two performers play all the roles in a huge historical show on the scale of a Les Misérables. The piece garnered raves both in New York and London. In Fort Worth, the director is the terrific David A. Miller.
