Christiana Little with her collaborator Bradford Proctor, on June 3, 2014.

On June 3, 2014, Christiana Cole and her collaborator Bradford Proctor presented a 20-minute excerpt from their musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” The cast included April Woodall, Annie Watkins, Justin Friello, Arri Lawton Simon, Ben Boecker, Laura Kleinbaum and Christiana. Based on this presentation, the BMI Steering Committee (led by Alan Menken and Maury Yeston) decided that the writers and the project should be moved into the elite Advanced workshop. Christiana and Brad will continue to develop their new musical in the BMI Advanced Workshop this fall.
