Following the huge success of Sounds of the Seventies, this production transports audiences back to the 1960s to revisit the sights and sounds of the era that changed EVERYTHING. Using music from some of the most prominent and influential artists of the 60's such as The Rolling Stones, The Who, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, The Band, Crosby Stills & Nash, Aretha Franklin and The Beatles plus many many more, Decades in Concert: Spirit of the Sixties tells the story of the history and culture of America from JFK to the Apollo Moon Landing and everything in between. Led by a powerhouse cast, this spectacular music will immerse you in nostalgic multimedia and transport you back to the decade that changed America and defined a generation.
The production is conceived by Hugh Hallinan, written and curated by Phill Hill, choreographed by Jennifer Kaye, and musically directed by Jeff Cubeta with costume design by Lesley Neilson-Bowman, Dressers: Krista Rocco and Thomas Gordon, Sound Design by Matt Feeney, and stage managed by Sarah Hooper. Hugh Hallinan serves as Executive Director/ Producer alongside Artistic Director Phill Hill.

The cast features the talents of beloved DCT company members who originated the "Decades" series: Saige Bryan (Singer/Songwriter Saige Noelle, WC Knicks Singer @thesaigenoelle) Robert Peterpaul (CBS' Bull, Newsies, The Art of Kindness Podcast @robpeterpaul), Mikayla Petrilla (SNL, Inventing Anna, The McKittrick Hotel @mikaylapetrilla), Everton Ricketts (SNL, Polar Express: Warner Bros @egricketts) and company swing Sean Davis.
