from our friends at ASU LOT:
Main-stage productions include Smetana's beautiful and pivotal opera "The Bartered Bride," William Finn's autobiographical musical "A New Brain," Francis Poulenc's absurdist "The Breasts of Tiresias" and Stephen Schwartz's iconic rock musical "Pippin." The Lyric Opera Theatre Lab, through which students do everything themselves including selecting titles, directing, designing and producing, will feature "Nevermore: The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death Of Edgar Allan Poe" and Purcell's "The Fairy Queen," based on Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream," performed outdoors in the ASU Biodesign Institute's Diane and Bruce Halle Skyspace Garden.
We will continue our New Works Reading series at ASU Kerr Cultural Center next year, presenting "The Halloween Tree" (based on the story by Ray Bradbury) in partnership with American Lyric Theater, and a new musical by ASU MFA Playwriting student Amanda Prahl and ASU alum Alexander Tom called "Til Death," in collaboration with the ASU School of Film, Dance and Theatre.
We are proud to continue our partnership with Phoenix Theatre, where we will hold select classes and our year-end Musical Theatre Showcase. Our students will also have the special opportunity to work with Maestro Tito Munoz and the Phoenix Symphony on a concert version of "West Side Story."
Follow us on Facebook so you can be sure to hear about other events and all the exciting work our students and alumni are doing at ASU and beyond.
