Transport Group’s creative artistic director Jack Cummings III and producing artistic director Robyn Hussa announced that the centerpiece of the company’s fourth season is one of the largest off-Broadway projects in recent memory. Conceived and directed by Cummings and developed with Adam Bock, the show boasts numerous writers and a cast of 26 actors, playing audience members who are watching a Broadway musical.
