TMTP has a new bi-monthly watch party series highlighting not-to-be-missed movie musicals! Subscribers to our mailing list will receive an email one Friday with a brief video introduction from TMTP Founder and Artistic Director Bill Rudman for an inside look at what to expect before they view the film. Then at-home viewers can stream the film at their convenience. The following Friday, Rudman will host a live-streamed Q&A to discuss the film in real time! And if you miss either the preview or the Q&A, we'll update all the videos weekly right here so you can come back and watch anytime.
