Bellarine Theatre Company and the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences are proud to be partnering for another season to present theatre in Loveladies!

Last year, the pair presented works such as "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," "Dorothy Meets Alice" (an area premiere that hosted a special needs friendly performance), and "Bat Boy: The Musical," another area premiere. Bellarine believes in presenting high quality productions, and they are thrilled to be performing at LBIF again this year. "Songs For A New World," with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown, is their season opener.

"Songs For A New World" is a contemporary song cycle that weaves characters and history together, illuminating the timelessness of self-discovery. It's about one moment. It's about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back. These are the stories and characters of today, the Songs For A New World. The first musical from Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges Of Madison County, 13, The Last 5 Years), this moving collection of powerful songs examines life, love and the choices we make. Brown transports his audience from the deck of a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge 57 stories above Fifth Avenue to meet a startling array of characters ranging from a young man who has determined that basket-ball is his ticket out of the ghetto to a woman whose dream of marrying rich nabs her the man of her dreams and a soulless marriage. Bellarine's production of "Songs For A New World" proudly boasts professional musicians and performers along side local talent...yes, musicians as well..this is Bellarine's first production at LBIF that features a live orchestra!

"Songs For A New World" will open at LBIF March 12, 13, and 14 at 7:00PM. Tickets can be purchased online at www.bellarinetheatre.com/shows or over the phone 609-661-2083. Visit us on Facebook to get the most up-to-date information www.facebook.com/bellarine.theatre.company.
