The musical production Songs For A New World will usher in the 2010-2011 season at the Tri-County Performing Arts Center. The show will run for ONE WEEKEND ONLY, Thursday September 16th through Sunday the 19th. It’s all about the music, as each song transports us through different stories, humorous and moving – of our community and isolation, our desire for the immaterial in a material world, and the moments of decision that define our journey. It reflects a broad range of musical styles and genres including pop, gospel, jazz, and classical music.
This unique musical is the brainchild of Tony-Award winning lyricist and composer, Jason Robert Brown, hailed as “one of Broadway’s smartest and most sophisticated songwriters since Stephen Sondheim” (Philadelphia Inquirer) and “a leading member of a new generation of composers who embody high hopes for the American musical” (The New York Times). The Chicago Tribune calls this work “extraordinary, jubilant theater.”
Director Deborah Stimson-Snow has served as the Artistic Director for Village Productions (the Tri-County Performing Arts Center) since the organization’s inception in 2001 and has a Masters Degree in Music from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. She has directed opera and Broadway musicals, was Music Director for the Tri-PAC’s highly acclaimed production of Ragtime in June 2010, and will be the Director for next June’s Peter Pan at the Tri-PAC.
