In How to Be an American!, the year is 1905. Tammany Hall politician George Washington Plunkitt has gathered a group of new immigrants for the purpose of educating them on the subtleties of the American political system one week before the next New York City election.
The score features songs from the early 20th century American Songbook arranged by Satomi Hoffman (The Phantom of the Opera). Directed by Bill Castellino (Cagney), the show features music direction by Ryan Touhey (Nightclub Cantata). Lighting will be by John Salutz.
