Anglin. The first production slated, added Anglin, is the urban musical drama “What Girls Don't Tell,” a complex, human drama about the making of a star in the music world and the struggle on that road to glory.
“The subject matter demanded the caliber of Damien’s credentials,” said Anglin. “We’re very excited to have him on board.”
