erik with a k

The CMTP is thrilled to welcome back Jay Turvey and Paul Sportelli. They debuted their musical 33 1/3 at the CMTP in 2016.

French composer Erik Satie’s apartment, 1925, minutes before his death. He is visited by cancan dancer La Goulue, composer Claude Debussy, artist and former lover, Suzanne Valadon. And four angels. Erik has questions. Can they help him find the answers?
