DIRECTOR’S NOTES Music is defined as: the art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color.

Simply put: music is the sound of our very soul. I believe it follows that Rock’n Roll is the soul’s most primal expression. It burst from the seams of the late 1940’s and would, by the mid-50’s, cause a revolution of hip-swiveling teens to scare the daylights out of their parents.

At the time our play takes place, this sound revolution was just beginning. And Sam Phillips was its greatest architect. Sam knew the awesome power of music from the time he was in grade school. The favorite nephew of his mute Aunt Emma, he learned that rhythmic gestures could make a wordless language. He soon understood that the language of music could transcend the borders of the physical; and of social status, color, age, and even time. Sam’s Uncle Silas (not his uncle at all, but a black man who’d fallen on hard times) moved into the Phillips’ house when Sam was just a boy. Sam’s father welcomed Silas; it was the Christian thing to do. Silas would have a huge impact on Sam’s sense of self - and his ability to observe, empathize, and make joy. Sam thought: what if I had been born black? He saw that physical traits did not define a person and discovered that music was colorblind. From back room juke joints to gospel churches, everyone could understand the beat. By his early 20’s, Sam was in Memphis, devoted to the search for young musicians, looking always “to bring out of a person what was in him to help him express what he believed his message to be.”*

In recent years, science has proven what our ancestors (and Sam) already knew: rhythm, singing, stomping, hollerin’ to the beat - are honest expressions of our very core. Rock‘n Roll is the musical dialect that erupted like a volcano on December 4th, 1956. In the hands of these hungry, mostly unknown, young men: Johnny, Carl, Elvis, and Jerry Lee - and their fearless crusader, Sam Phillips, the soundtrack of our lives was forever changed.

Today’s music is a direct descendant of the Rock‘n Roll that percolated at Sun Records on that fateful day. We have seen it shine as a beacon of truth, bridging the chasms of social order, religion, and segregation; each of us connected by its power. We take our place in this theatre, as the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of melody and rhythm and, of course, all that hip-swiveling.

Rock‘n Roll was nothing less than a sound revolution. This is the story of how it all went down.
