ABOUT

 
DEMOCRACY: AN AMERICAN MUSICAL
is a theme-based rather than a story or plot-based work,
the “theme,” of course, being democracy, and more specifically
democracy as currently practiced in the United State of America.

The goal is to create a work that not only engages and entertains audiences,
but educates and motivates them to support and defend democracy in the face of threats and dangers.
It is not intended to promote or disparage any political party but rather to
encourage listeners to support parties and candidates whom they
believe will best defend our democracy as it functions within our constitutional republic.

This theatrical work is to be performed by a cast of nine (or more) actors, singers and dancers
featuring a principle narrator and an ensemble of eight (or more) vocalists:
Two Sopranos; Two Altos; Two Tenors, and Two Baritones.

It is organized into four acts.
Act I: People
Act II: Freedom
Act III: Danger
Act IV: Transcendence

It is anticipated that the creative phase will be accomplished in the winter of 2025.
A cast and crew will be recruited in the spring when demo songs will be recorded.
Public performances will be scheduled for summer and fall.

The "business" of this project will be based on a Co-Op model.
