To Paint the Earth represents something of a rarity in the festival: a serious musical. It stares unblinkingly at abject fear, abject denial (one character says she is looking forward to being taken to a lovely place called Treblinka) and devastating compromise.
~ Anita Gates, The New York Times, September 30, 2008
To Paint the Earth, written with composer Jonathan Portera and winner of the 2004 Richard Rodgers Development Award, was selected for the New York Musical Theatre Festival, Fall 2008. The run, at the 200-seat 37 Arts, Theatre C, began September 22nd and went through October 1st.
