Songs for a New World at Townsend Center for the Performing Arts

The University of West Georgia Theatre Company kicks off our 2020-2021 Fearless season with Songs for a New World, the first musical from three-time Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown (The Bridges of Madison County, Parade, The Last Five Years). In this time of pandemic and isolation, the UWG Theatre Company explores what it means to connect not only to the world, but also to each other. In Songs for a New World we explore life, love, and the choices ordinary people make when faced with extraordinary moments. All of this wrapped up in a two-act, modern pop-opera.
In Songs for a New World we will explore the courage and fear we experience by just being human from the beginnings of this great country to the present day. It is a glimpse into the challenges of the struggling lower class, the first colonies, troublesome marriages and so much more as each character fearlessly braves the new world tosolve the issues they face in their everyday lives.
Come and be transported from the deck of a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge 57 stories above Fifth Avenue as a small, but powerful cast and a driving, exquisitely crafted score bring the next generation into the theatre. Please be aware that Song for a New World contains strong language.
Songs for a New World kicks off the University of West Georgia Theatre Company's 2020-2021 Fearless season, and will stream from the Townsend Center for Performing Arts Mainstage Theatre September 30-October 4, 2020. Ticket prices for the run are General: $10, Seniors: $7. For tickets, please go to townsendcenter.org, or call 678.839.4722.
