A Letter From The Artistic Director
So what does it mean to be an American?  I suppose artists can answer that question better than politicians, and I’d certainly rather spend the next eleven months listening to them.  That’s why we’ve chosen to mount our hybrid world premiere music-theater event, The American Dream Songbook.

A Condensed History of the American Dream
What makes the American Dream change over time?  As we’ve achieved our collective aspirations to freedom, equality, and prosperity, successive generations look to stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and dream for more: greater happiness, greater wealth, greater glory.

The Evolution of the Musical
It’s only been in the last century that American artists have put their signature on the theatrical art.  And of all the genres within that tradition, only the Musical can be considered a native American form.
