"Wonder Of the World" is directed by Evan Donnellan who also has a small character role.  Playwright David Lindsay-Abaire is best known for the drama "Rabbit Hole" but had a sleeper hit with "Wonder" when it played on Broadway in 2001 with a cast featuring Sarah Jessica Parker, Alan Tudyk and Amy Sedaris.  This Minstrel production features a cast of veterans and newcomers: Roseann Baldanza, Eric Clavell, Paul Graf, Tricia Ieronimo, Tara Palen and Michelle Torres.  The ‘World Class’ crew is rounded out with Robert Cashman – Technical Director, Laura Morella – Assistant Director, Bernie Caprera – Lighting Director, Esteban Lopez – Stage Manager, and Alyssa Williams - Crew.
