About the job

THAT JONES BOY! OR, THE ADVENTURES OF A BASTARD, a Musical Comedy of Manners adapted from Henry Fielding's classic mid-18th century (ca. 1745) novel, TOM JONES, is in the process of receiving an entirely new musical score which should be completed by October of 2024. The libretto (book & lyrics) which tells the tale of a disenfranchised young man seeking his proper place in society, is currently being revised from a draft originally copyrighted in 1971.

This immersive version resets the satirical romantic tale in the style of a late 18th century (1790s) theatrical performance--there is no "fourth wall" between the actors onstage and the audience with a select number of ticket buyers being invited to attend in period costume. The scenery and lighting will be designed in a manner consistent with the concept, but using 21st century technology.

This is a picaresque with a lot of characters, involving frequent and rapid changes in costumes and wigs, can be performed by a relatively moderate cast of versatile actor-singer-dancers. The Actor's Equity "Favored Nations" Agreement permits producers to pay them all the same basic minimum salary, though featured players should receive additional compensation on the back end. Local 802 of the musician's union requires parity.
