Howdy gang!
I have been communicating with David Remedios, who works for a
Boston-based theater group, who is looking either to buy or to rent a
hurdy-gurdy for use in a stage production. He did not seem interested in
hiring a hurdy-gurdy player for the production, but rather actors with
musical ability.
Since I currently have no instruments available for sale or rent, I
offered to send his request out to the wider hurdy-gurdy world.

The American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, MA will be
presenting a stage adaptation of Oliver Twist next
season that requires, among other things, a hurdy gurdy and a
serpent as part of its live orchestration. Information about
the style or range of the instruments is forthcoming, but we are
investigating rental or purchase possibilities for budget
planning reasons.
The window of time would be 1/9/07 (start of rehearsals) to
4/22/07 (end of the Cambridge run). The production will also
have a life in NYC at the John Jay Theatre later next year.
