We have a big story this week. "In the Cosmos: Where We Come From, Where We Are, and Where We Are Going…"
This WORDTheatre original, produced with musical director and composer, Starr Parodi, composer Jonathan Sacks and conducted by the phenomenal Anthony Parthner, featured an extraordinary cast of actors and musicians, and was presented to a sold out crowd in a beautiful 1200 seat Amphitheater here in Los Angeles 5 days after the last major solar eclipse in 2017. I created this show in honor of my father, David Fox, who organized several TOTAL eclipse trips for friends and family during his lifetime. Today we will share the first haldf and next week we will share the second half and each will be online for two months for your listening pleasure. Here now is the first half of "In the Cosmos, Where We Come From, Where We Are and Where We Are Going…."
