👏 A hearty congrats to Tony-Nominee Bryce Pinkham!

Bryce has been nominated for his work in the Broadway sensation CHESS for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical and we couldn't be prouder or more excited.

We are proud to have been developing Bryce's solo musical FATHERTIME: BIRTH, DEATH AND SONGS, which was presented by Long Wharf Theatre in 2022 (then titled DIGNITY, ALWAYS DIGNITY) and last summer at Hudson Valley Shakespeare.

We look forward to the continued heart and excellent work this artist brings to his projects.
