Young People’s Theatre welcomes Carousel Players and their interactive play Here to Hear by Linda A. Carson and Cathy Nosaty. Incorporating music and audience participation, this spellbinding production for young audiences will be presented in The Studio from February 4 to 21, 2013.
Here to Hear is a joyful play about hearing the world of music through different ears. Amanda and her dad don’t really agree on what music is. She likes to collect sounds from the audience and jam with them; he wants to perform the beautiful, more traditional songs he has learned over the years. Just when it looks like there won’t be a concert at all, a surprise visitor turns things upside down. Together with the audience, Amanda and her father make a song that helps their visitor find the way home.
Directed by Pablo Felices Luna; Starring Amy Lee and Steven Gallagher.
Set, Props & Costumes Designer Michael Greves; Original Music & Sound Designer Cathy Nosaty; Lighting Designer & Projections Designer Gavin Fearon; Stage Manager Sarah Miller.
