OPerhaps you don’t believe in the Biblical narrative (with which Stephen Schwartz, as composer and storyteller, takes consider- production of able liberties), but you might have children and find “Father’s” hopes and desires for his children relatable. Or perhaps you have siblings. You certainly have parents. And so, one way or another, you’re included in this story. It’s about you. It’s about all of us. It’s about our frailties and foibles, our struggles and failures, and it’s about our curiosity, ambitions and determination to live life the way we choose. It is also, like the Bible itself, ultimately a story about hope, love and redemption. When we don’t measure up, it takes someone else’s love us to lift us up. The meaning and message in all of this is timeless, and so director Cailey McCandless cast a vision for the show that unmoors it from ancient settings. And you might notice there are very few parallel lines in the show’s design... mostly intersecting angles, because life and our relationships tend to work that way.

Our work changed overnight, and we could look back at our own naivete in the ‘before time’ with a longing nostalgia. Perhaps once in a generation there is an event that so deeply impacts the very nature of life on this planet that it becomes their defining moment. As a society we have had to forge a way forward. As educators we have had to forge a way forward, as education is essential to our future. As live performers, we are working to forge a way forward in an industry that was the first to close and will be the last to fully return; and yet ‘live performance’ is so crucial and necessary to expressing our very soul and the struggles we confront.

  • Disney Musicals in Schools Puts Students in the Spotlight Onstage at Overture Center for the Arts
    MEDIA ALERT For immediate release: Friday, April 20, 2018 Contact: Sarah Knab | 608.258.4438 DISNEY MUSICALS IN SCHOOLS PUTS STUDENTS IN THE SPOTLIGHT ONSTAGE AT OVERTURE CENTER FOR THE ARTS Overture Center is among 18 arts organizations in the world collaborating with Disney Musicals in Schools. (Madison, Wis.) - On May 23, more than 180 elementary students from Madison will have the extraordinary opportunity to sing and dance onstage at Overture Center for the Arts as the result of a grant awarded to Overture by Disney. The grant from Disney enables Overture to offer the Disney Musicals in Schools program to three new schools in Madison this year: Frank Allis Elementary School, Leopold Elementary School and Nuestro Mundo Community School. The program is designed to create sustainable theater program in elementary schools. Through the program, participating schools produce a Disney KIDS musical in their school community and join in a culminating performance at Overture. “Disney Musicals in Schools addresses one of our biggest goals – creating equitable access to the arts,” said Ted DeDee, Overture’s president and CEO. “Through the program, we can create meaningful and sustainable musical theater opportunities for students who would not otherwise be able to experience it. By being immersed in creating art with their peers and discovering the joys and confidence that comes from the process of learning to perform, students are making memories and developing skills to last a lifetime. In addition, through the structure of the program teachers learn and develop their skills, setting up for long term musical theater programs at their schools.” The selected schools participated in a 17-week musical theater residency, led by a team of teaching artists trained by Overture and Disney Theatrical Productions, at no cost.
