SING FOR YOUR LIFE

2019 Lab

Workshop Performance

Based on the New York Times Bestseller of the same name, Sing for Your Life, chronicles Metropolitan Opera bass baritone Ryan Speedo Green’s journey from violence to the world’s elite opera circles.

Told through spoken word and song, New York Times best selling author Daniel Bergner joins Ryan on stage, while musical works by Mahler, Rossini, and African American Art Songs, performed live by Ryan, highlight important moments in his compelling story.

WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE

2019 Lab

Song Cycle - Workshop Performance

“We Aren’t Kids Anymore started as a deeply personal project borne of my own life experiences," says Creator Drew Gasparini, "but the minute I began to share these songs and hear them interpreted by other artists I realized how much of the emotional experience of adulting we all share.”

“The CNU students brought all of themselves to this process and seeing the way performers-particularly young performers-seem to find comfort in knowing this material tells their story has been an eye-opening and amazing part of the growth of this show.”

STU FOR SILVERTON

2018 Lab

Stu For Silverton is a new American musical inspired by the people of Silverton, Oregon.

In 2008, they bravely elected Stu Rasmussen - a self-proclaimed gender anarchist - to be their mayor. Unbeknownst to the town and Stu, Stu became the first openly "transgender mayor" in America.

This is the story of a town that accepted change and celebrated community in the face of great fear… a musical about what America should be, and what America can be.
