According to New York Times Theater reporter Michael Paulson, this is the year of Vermonter Shaina Taub. And Tony Award-winning composer Jeanine Tesori agrees. A performer and songwriter, Shaina hails from Waitsfield and now calls Brooklyn home. She is currently performing as one of the Fates in <em>Hadestown</em>, an off-Broadway musical created by Vermonter Anaïs Mitchell. </p> <p>Earlier this year, Shaina performed some of her original music in Bill Irwin and David Shiner's <em>Old Hats</em> at the Signature Theatre. After her <em>Hadestown</em> run, she will perform in her own musical adaptation of William Shakespeare’s <em>Twelfth Night</em> at the Delacorte Theater. Shaina is a Jonathan Larson Grant recipient, she released her album <em>Visitors</em> last year and regularly performs with her band the Shaina Taub Trio. This up-and-coming theater star hopes to leave her mark by composing a musical about the American women's suffrage movement.</p> <p>Eva sat down with Shaina on a stoop outside the New York Theatre Workshop in the East Village to talk about her creative evolution and productive year.</p> <p><a href="http://shainataub.com/home">http://shainataub.com/home</a></p>
