WATER

true meaning of strength and the true power of water.

SUBSCRIPTION PLAY 4 – TWO ONE-ACT MUSICALS
MARRY ME A
LITTLE
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Directed by Jules Aaron
Songs
that didn't quite fit into some Stephen Sondheim's best-known
musicals are woven into a simple tale of two lonely people during
one evening in their small, one-bedroom apartment. Featuring songs
that were cut from A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM,
ANYONE CAN WHISTLE, COMPANY, FOLLIES, and A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.
&
THE LAST FIVE
YEARS
Music & Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown
There are two sides to every
story...Jamie and Cathy's 5-year old relationship is coming to an
end, and through the funny, sweet and heart-breaking songs, you hear
both versions of what happened - from beginning to end, and from the
end to beginning. Composer of SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD and PARADE.
