Songs for a New World to Open




Here are some words from 4th year Mentorship student Sienna Howell-Holden on her upcoming final project production.

Well here I am a little under one month from opening Songs for a New World by Jason Robert Brown, the show that will (hopefully!) be the final project that propels me towards graduating from Rosebud School of the Arts. It has been a really encouraging experience so far, with the team that I have assembled working really hard to get this project off the ground. With only three rehearsals under our belt we are ahead of the eight ball, having more than half of the show blocked. There is an infectious energy in rehearsals, with people bringing their talent and creativity to the process. the music is so Challenging! by far the hardest music I have worked with. But we are climbing the mountain slowly but surely with grit and determination. Another thing that has been interesting so far is wearing both an actors cap as well as a producers. It's been a great learning experience attempting to juggle both and know when to put each cap on, sometimes more successfully than others!

Songs for a New World will open
April 18 at 7pm and will also run on
Tuesday April 19 at 11am and 7pm
April 20 at 10am and 7pm
