Patrick McElroy is the director, and Courtney Grossoehme is the student director.
Hannah Flowers is the vocal director, Ashley Hazy choreographer and Andrew Garay conductor and recording artist.
Kiana Fleeger is serving as student technical director, Eva King is the stage manager and Quinn Anderson is the assistant stage manager.
Through a seemingly unrelated collection of songs, scenes and monologues, “The Theory of Relativity” introduces a compelling array of characters experiencing the joys and heartbreaks, the liaisons and losses, the inevitability and the wonder of human connection.
This is a “song cycle” musical, meaning the audience won't hear dialogue or see a collection of linear scenes that create a plot, as in an ordinary musical.
Instead, audience members will be introduced to a variety of fascinating people, telling their stories in songs and monologues running the gambit of tones and musical styles and eventually coming to realize, that they are all part of the same universe and their lives are more connected than they ever realized.
The show was created by Drama Desk Award nominees Neil Bartram and Brian Hill, who asked a group of college students to share some of the biggest changes that had happened in their young lives as they grew into adulthood.
