Songs for a New WorldMusic and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown
Directed by Josh Pounders PERFORMANCE DATES May 1st - May 16th, 2015 Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm Sundays at 2pm SYNOPSIS It's about one moment. It's about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back. These are the stories and characters of today, the Songs For A New World. The first musical from Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown, this moving collection of powerful songs examines life, love and the choices we make. Brown transports his audience from the deck of a 1492 SPanish sailing ship to a ledge 57 stories above Fifth Avenue to meet a startling array of characters ranging from a young man who has determined that basketball is his ticket out of the ghetto to a woman whose dream of marrying rich nabs her the man of her dreams and a soulless marriage.
