The vocalists and performers in The Half Moon Theatre Company all have a unique sound. Together, there is no way to describe the scintillating explosion of talent when brought together in any number of combinations. It is an experience not to be missed.
The Half Moon Theatre Company is a collaborative music, literacy and theatre arts organization founded and directed by Rob Darnell (Poetic Notion Chorus) and Lisa Roma (Electrik Goddess Club Orquestra / EGCO). Their combined groups work together to perform jazz, folk, pop, soul, musical theatre, and unique original works and collaborations, such as our recent musical theatre peace, "Rustic Shadow on a Summer Tree."
You are invited to our next show, The LAURA NYRO Birthday Tribute, featuring, naturally, the illustrious music of the late great artist Laura Nyro, performed and directed by Poetic Notion Chorus and EGCO, as well as other musical guests.
The songs featured on this website are composed by Rob Darnell, Lisa Roma or both. The Half Moon Theatre Company also produces The Half Moon Artist Series, which features select performances by other artists. If you are interested in performing in this series, or have any inquiries, please contact us at halfmoontheatrco@aol.com.
Poetic Notion Chorus is the recipient of a Best Live Performance award for 2006 from Soul Patrol. www.soul-patrol.com for their production of
