Our first musical salon was an enchanting evening on many levels. Our stunning brownstone home was filled with music, wine, flowers, and a true cornucopia of talent. Guests delighted in the camaraderie of our community—the joy was palpable—and everyone left with a sense of “what could be.” What could be more magical than that?

Pictured here are two of our stunningly talented residents, and who contributed to the musical events of the evening. Beautiful work ladies!!

We are thrilled to welcome Maria Elena de la Noval as the new Residency Director of The Rehearsal Club ✨
Now living in the residence as our “House Mother,” Maria Elena brings a wealth of experience as a producer, voice-over talent and with a lifelong passion for musical theatre.
As lead producer of Waiting for Snow in Havana, A New Musical, she is developing a powerful story based on Carlos Eire’s National Book Award-winning memoir, following his experience as one of over 14,000 unaccompanied Cuban children sent to the U.S. on what would later be known as Operation Pedro Pan. Carried by a soaring musical score, Cuban wit, it is a visually rich, poignant story about exile, identity, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
Already a mentor within TRC, we are so excited for this next chapter under her leadership 💫
Please join us in giving Maria Elena a warm TRC welcome! ❤️

On March 23, TRC Members in person and on Zoom gathered at Cafe Arte in NYC for the second annual Spring Fling! It was indeed a fling!
As this is also the 20th Anniversary of the rebirth of TRC, a proper toast and tribute was paid to Kathy Conry and the other inspirational women who reignited us! We had proof of our continuing powers of support and legacy in a delightful performance by new alumna Faith Olson, and an impressive update on careers from current residents and other new alums!
Excitement was palpable at the announcement of a live-in Residency Director, with Maria Elena De La Noval’s return next month, and the tease of the planned Gala for November! Great joy!
All were treated to great food and drink, and best of all was the time together to start or build on relationships, the hallmark of TRC

Celebrating our incredible TRC member on this well deserved honor ✨

She has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical by the St. Louis Theater Circle Awards for her performance in Austen’s Pride at Stages St. Louis!

Last year, she brought the role of Cassandra Austen to life alongside an extraordinary creative team and cast, many of whom are also nominated. To receive her very first acting award nomination among such talented artists makes this moment even more meaningful.

We are so proud to see her artistry recognized and cannot wait to cheer her on. Congratulations on this incredible achievement!!
