The Player's Ring Pitch

Imagine that you place a hat on your head, a simple ordinary hat...and suddenly you have visions of all the thoughts, feelings, dreams, and ambitions of anyone who’s ever worn this hat before.
Now imagine, your entire outlook on life and your position in it, suddenly and drastically change from the way it was, simply by placing this hat on your head.

Now this moment may be paramount to any common person, yet imagine if this person was the newly elected president of the USA? Suddenly, he could see through the eyes of the common people!

This is just what happens in this original musical. Starting off in Jamaica with 3 migrant workers on their way to harvest the apple crops in New Hampshire, we find our main character has just purchased a new hat from the Jamaican marketplace, and it isn't long before he and his friends realize that this new hat has some supernatural powers.

This whimsical Reggae /Folk fantasy about the proverbial empathy hat, already has a small local following of hat enthusiasts on it’s myspace. This musical contains 16 songs, and has 6 scenes, which can be produced with simple props. It requires 9 performers to create the 17 characters. This musical and soundtrack are completed and we are looking for a producer and director to work with us. We can supply the recorded instrumentals, and some of the local musicians involved are interested in performing live. We the authors are also artists and can help with the production.

This folk tale points out how mysterious life can be and how little acts of faith and courage can go a very long way in changing the course of the world. It also portrays the humble existence of migrant workers & local farmers, and how important they are to our economy, while embracing the struggles we all share, in trying to make our own hopes and dreams come alive.
