Posted 10/28/2020: Get Ready For Songs For A New World - A Virtual Musical!
Southwest High School Theatre is back in a new way... A virtual fall musical! Songs For a New World was captured with video cameras in a socially distanced and... brrrrrr... outside setting over the course of two weekends. Our actors, directors and producers are now in post production to prepare for our run of airings: November 12 - 15.
Directed by our very own Amanda Hayden, with Berit Johnson as Musical Director, and Chris White managing video and sound production, we're very pleased to be active again.
Songs For A New World - with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown - was originally produced by the WPA Theatre in New York City, 1995, under the artistic direction of Kyle Renick). Check this space for more information for how to access the event. We'll also be setting up a Facebook Event.
