“In a time when music, art and drama are being cut from schools’ budgets—where the country is at war—where earthquakes are destroying lives in China and Burma—where fires are burning in Florida—and floods are wreaking havoc in the Midwest, it seems apropos,” director Stephanie Kovacs believes, “to produce a musical about two people traveling to the underworld in order to bring back a famous writer—someone who the world might listen to and be inspired by—in the hopes of bringing some sort of peace and order to a chaotic, breaking-apart world.”
Come see New Castle student performers in this production including Ted Caywood, Olivia Nielsen, Ben Kleinman, Emerson Obus, Kathryn Krull, Henry Simon, Erica Mezias, Zach Ehrlich, Phae Nowak, Sammie Nish, Debbie Sachare, Haley Jakobson, Lexie Young, Ali Ross, Sam Caywood and Phoebe Dunn.
