Event Description

Written by Jason Robert Brown, "Songs for a New World" is somewhere between a musical and song cycle - a series of songs all connected by a theme: the moment of decision. Characters range from the mother of a Revolutionary soldier awaiting the end of the brutal war to a young man in the Bronx dreaming of becoming a famous basketball player to a forlorn and neglected Mrs. Claus lamenting as Christmas approaches. A diverse cast and rousing score blend pop, gospel, and jazz with tight harmonies and daring vocals that transport its audience from the deck of a Spanish sailing ship bound for a new land to the ledge of a New York penthouse. Performances: June 20 at 7:30 pm/ June 21 at 2:00 pm & 7:30 pm/ June 22 at 2:00 pm Tickets: $20 with reserved seating Visit: concordplayers.org The Concord Players are proud to present this as part of Concord's 250th Celebration

On May 1, 1775, undergraduates were dismissed and given an early summer vacation. Classes resumed on Oct. 5 in Concord, 20 miles away — the beginning of a wartime academic sojourn.
