Skeletons At the Feast, by Chris Bohjalian

German refugees struggle westward ahead of the advancing Russian army, and hundreds of Jewish women shuffle west on a gruesome death march from a concentration camp.  Bohjalian presents the difficulties confronting both sets of travelers, including a Jewish escapee from an Auschwitz-bound train, in his carefully researched novel depicting the brutal landscape of Nazi Germany.  The novel was inspired by the unpublished diary of a Prussian woman who fled west in 1945.

The Teen Production Company Proudly Presents:

Songs For A New World

 

 

 

 

Music by  Jason Robert Brown
Lyrics by  Jason Robert Brown

Says the author of this gripping revue, "it's about one moment. It's about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back." Newcomer Jason Robert Brown (composer-lyricist of the critical smash "Parade") has had the whole theatre community talking about his blend of savvy showmanship and exciting contemporary sound for years, starting with this revue. These are the stories and characters of today, the songs for a new world.
