Songs for a New World
A new world calls across the ocean...
Friday, December 2, 2016 at 9 PM - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4 PM
UMBC's Musical Theatre Club and TheatreCOM proudly present Songs for a New World, a song cycle about choices. It's the point of decision: you've hit a wall in your career, in your friendship, in your marriage. Where do you go from here? How do you come out on the other side of that? How does that affect you, and the people around you? Jason Robert Brown effortlessly weaves together different stories and characters to create a compelling emotional show that touches everyone who experiences it in a different way.
