Doma Theater Co. presents Songs for a New World, from composer Jason Robert Brown, creator of the acclaimed musicals 13 and Parade. This is Brown's first theatrical work, originally produced off-Broadway in 1995 and described by the composer as neither a musical nor a revue, but rather a "very theatrical song cycle." The series of songs are thematically connected, illustrating points of major decision in the characters' lives. The songs are performed by four cast members who play different characters throughout. The vocally demanding score is influenced by multiple genres, including pop, gospel, jazz and classical. Learn More

Description
In The Arab-Israeli Cookbook by Robin Soans, nine actors portray 40 characters drawn from documentary-style interviews with ordinary people from Israeli Gaza and The West Bank -- three generations of people who live in a rich, yet divided world where food, tradition and family provided some constancy. Tastes swallowed and meals shared for the basis of a common experience that underlies their hope for peace. Their recipe for hope can be as simple as combining the ingredients of faith, courage and tradition.
