MUSIC DIRECTOR’S NOTE
Musical theatre is a medium that brings people together, and it has been a challenge to figure out what that means when we’re not able to physically gather. What does it mean to sing together ... separately? This show, with its theme about searching for connection, hits even harder now: real life imitates art as we search for connection within our socially distanced rehearsals, Zoom coachings, and solo recording sessions. Seeing these characters yearning for community through a screen is something to which I think we can all relate now. It’s been so exciting to see what the performers have been able to accomplish in our strange new world, and I can’t wait for others to see it, too!

SPECIAL THANKS
UM Interdisciplinary Ph.D. candidate Britt Garner for her wonderful “science” dramaturgical input and collaboration regarding theories of relativity and intersectional ideas of science and theatre. Also, David Cody and the School of Music for their support and collaboration on this very nontraditional exercise in musical theatre.
