Victoria Clark will direct a staged reading of the new musical Newton's Cradle by mother-son writing team Kim Saunders and Heath Saunders.

Winner of the 2016 New York Musical Festival Awards for Best Musical and Outstanding Direction, Newton's Cradle is a story about life and love experienced through one young man's unique prism of autism.

The presentation will star real-life brothers Heath Saunders and Trent Saunders, as well as Andrea Burns, Denée Benton, Brian Gonzales, and Gizel Jimenez.

Produced by Catherine Adler and Alan Goodman for Catherine Adler Productions, the reading will have music direction by Christopher Gurr, and will be stage managed by Melanie T. Morgan.
