Out of Pocket continues its NINETEENTH season with the Western New York PREMIERE of Itimar Moses's philosophical farce "Bach at Leipzig."Directed by Brad Craddock and Cece McFarland, the cast includes Skylar Shaw, Ross Amstey, Dan Mejak, Ben McRae, Ken Klamm, S. Michael Smith, and Rey Beagle.
Leipzig, Germany — 1722. Johann Kuhnau, revered organist of the Thomaskirche, suddenly dies, leaving his post vacant. The town council invites musicians to audition for the coveted position, among them young Johann Sebastian Bach. In an age where musicians depend on patronage from the nobility or the church to pursue their craft, the post at a prominent church in a cultured city is a near guarantee of fame and fortune -which is why some of the candidates are willing to resort to any lengths to secure it. BACH AT LEIPZIG is a fugue-like farcical web of bribery, blackmail, and betrayal set against the backdrop of Enlightenment questions about humanity, God, and art.
Performances at the MuCCC will be December 4th, 5th, 10th, 11th, and 12th at 7:30 pm and on December 6th at 2 pm.
