This staged reading of HOLD ON: THE MUSICAL depicts the present-day struggles of Brian Miller, a 23 year old gay singer songwriter from Philadelphia. After Brians father sides with a local barber who refused to service a customer based on his sexual orientation, Brian becomes compelled to reveal the secret that has haunted him for a decade. Upon coming out, Brian learns that nearly everyone in his inner circle is facing some sort of challenge. Together they embark on a journey full of life lessons in pursuit of happiness. HOLD ON features a soaring soundtrack by the Canadian Hall of Fame rock band, Triumph!

Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways: by a single performer embodying a whole host of characters; by a more experimental theater piece "done differently" that challenges and delights; by a cozy two-person show exploring relationships; or perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.

NO REFUNDS will be granted.
