PLUS 80+ OTHER ALUMS: MUSICALS WRITTEN, COMPOSED, DIRECTED AND PERFORMED BY BROWN ALUMNI

Brown Media Group is happy to announce TOGETHER APART, an unprecedented collaboration by over 80 Brown alumni who are the writers, composers, directors and stars in this collection of new short musicals. These amazing alums were inspired by a Brown musical theatre reunion attended by graduates from the early 80’s through the late 90’s. Grammy Award Winner Lisa Loeb ’90 was energized by the digital reconnection, and inspired to write a musical about the experience. She asked the group if they wanted to collaborate, and the creative process began.  Proceeds will benefit The Actors Fund, which provides emergency financial assistance to members of the entertainment community. Open to all attendees -- not just Brown alumni!

PREMIERE: Thursday, May 27, 2021
5:30pm PDT/8:30pm EDT
with on-demand access through May 30th

General Admission starts at $25
Discount for students/artists

The production is a compilation of ten, seven-minute musicals, all about connecting on Zoom at the beginning of the pandemic. Tony Award Winning Producer Beth Wishnie ’89 said, “This entire project has been a labor of love. Once we decided to raise money for our friends in the entertainment industry, we worked around the clock to make something meaningful to anyone who was able to see it."

 

Emmy and SAG award winner, Julie Bowen ’90, who was in the midst of filming in Canada, was especially enthusiastic to join, knowing the show would be raising money for The Actors Fund. David Lai ‘86, who was deep in production on the music for the movie of Come From Away, came aboard as well, as did so many other talented Brown alumni including Broadway veteran Ann Harada, Emmy Award winner, Josh Hamilton ’92, and film icon, JoBeth Williams ’70.
