The Indie Collaborative: Celebrating Earth Day in Song
$60 each ($40 students/seniors)
- Sophia Agranovich, piano
- Alan Storeygard, piano
Come and see more than 20 award-winning Indie Collaborative artists perform Celebrating Earth Day in Song, which features a unique blend of the musical genres (rock, classical, jazz, Americana, theatrical) at this legendary venue.
The storyline of this three-act/two-part (with one intermission) presentation begins with the possibilities and newness of "The Beginning" and continues with the "Reality" of the situations. What happens in the end? Hope? Wisdom? Evolution? After Act Three, the entire cast performs our traditional Indie Collaborative finale, "We'll Stay Together."
This show was originally scheduled for April 2020, but was put off to April 2021, and then once again to April 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The artists are extremely excited to make this dream a reality.
Produced by Eileen Sherman and Grant Maloy Smith. Emcee: Grant Maloy Smith.
Doors open at 7:30pm; show starts at 8pm.
