Woods, Porscha Shaw, and Aaron M. Davis Norman.

"And So that Happened... is all about what is on our minds in this moment from the perspective of three groups of Northwest voices in a musical theater format," said creative director Desdemona Chiang. "This new take on how to put a production together is really exciting. It's unconventional, collaborative, and evolving, and an incredible way to support and uplift a talented group of people in Seattle's growing musical theater community."

"We are so lucky to be able to present And So That Happened... at ACT, where the intimacy of the space will allow the creation and experience of this new musical to really flourish," added Bill Berry, The 5th Avenue Theatre's Producing Artistic Director.
