Shelter (1972 musical, tryout) - repro

Gretchen Cryer and Nancy Ford’s highly ambitious 1972 contemporary musical comedy 'Shelter' launched its historic pre-Broadway out-of-town tryout engagement before crossing to New York's Golden Theatre. The textually unique, avant-garde plot centers on a hyper-neurotic writer of television commercials who lives isolated inside a high-tech, sterile television studio lot environment, launching an intricate web of romantic deceptions with a voice-activated computer named Arthur. Directed by Austin Pendleton, this early tryout variant records the developing blueprints used on the road, starring Marcia Rodd.
