From the celebrated and award-winning composer Dave Malloy comes Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, an electropop opera based on a scandalous slice of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. WCT Next Stage is an opportunity for young adult performers to gain advanced theater skills in singing, acting and dancing.
