Rock Opera Invited to Tour China - and Other Projects

Odessa, TX, playwright Cynthia Clack has received an official invitation to tour her rock opera in China. Ms. Clack also has a screenplay in pre-production & a children's book being printed.
 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release)Mar 27, 2007 – From “legal eagle” to literary genius – that’s the leap being made by board certified family lawyer Cynthia Clack.  Alongside a busy law practice Ms. Clack has quietly been writing children’s books, books for adults, screenplays, and even a musical-turned-rock opera.

  Ms. Clack’s literary endeavors are suddenly garnering national and international attention at an amazing rate of speed.  Her first children’s book, Doodles The American Hero, is being printed now and will be available within the month.  She has dedicated the book to heroes everywhere in America, including armed services, police, firefighters, paramedics and ambulance personnel.

  One of her screenplays, “Small Matters”, which tells the comedic saga of a statuesque female symphony conductor who finds herself contracted to twin cities populated by the descendants of the munchkin actors in “The Wizard of Oz”, is in the pre-production stage of planning with Texas filmmaker Kerry Wallum of Fast Talkin’ Productions.  Mr. Wallum visited Ms. Clack’s hometown of Odessa, Texas, for the weekend with his friend, actor Joe Estevez.  The two men have worked together on several projects in the past, and Mr. Estevez will appear in this film as well.  They extended their stay to speak to a press conference and an Actor’s Studio at University of Texas of the Permian Basin on Monday, March 26th, with fellow actor, Odessan Luciano Holguin.

  The project of Ms. Clack’s receiving the most attention, however, is her musical-turned-rock opera, “Eye of the Tiger – A Rock Opera”.  Based on her autobiographical book The Other Side of Life, An Angel’s Story, the musical was performed in July 2005 and gained the attention of Chinese producer Lihao Mao who has since issued Ms. Clack and her Tiger Tale Production Company an official invitation to perform it in a multi-city tour of China for up to a year.  Mr. Mao plans a televised competition to select Chinese performers who will be included in the otherwise American cast.

  Ms. Clack has converted the musical to true rock opera format, stating “90% of the audience probably won’t speak English, so I removed the dialogue”, leaving the 24 original songs written by her and composer Randall Shafer.

  Ms. Clack and Mr. Shafer released the first music video from the production, “Angel of Romance”, at a private party in Odessa over the weekend.  At that time, official announcements were made of the Chinese tour, “Small Matters” production, and another project not written by Ms. Clack but about her and former client Ms. Emily Wu.

  Approximately a year ago Ms. Clack won a custody case for Ms. Wu whose husband had abducted their 2½-year-old son from their home in China and brought him to Odessa.  This was the first time a Chinese national had won custody over a U.S. citizen in U.S. courts, instantly launching Ms. Wu into media prominence in China where in December 2006 Cosmopolitan Magazine of China named her “most fearless woman in China”.  Now, a producer has plans to develop a major film about the abduction & custody battle and will be sending a Vancouver-based screenwriter to meet with Ms. Clack and Ms. Wu in the next few weeks to become acquainted with them and to begin writing their story for the screen.  Of course, Ms. Clack has some ideas to share with him.
