BRB CASTING - SUMMER 2012

Jan McNulty · April 22, 2012

BRB have published the casting for the three performances they are doing at the Cresent Theatre in Birmingham. These performances are part of Birmingham's International Dance Festival. Because of the casting for the new Jessica Lang piece (Lyric Pieces), I assume it gives an indication of who will be going North on midscale.
