Using exclusive video interviews and new orchestrations of many of his acclaimed works, audiences get an inside look at the personal life and artistic process of the Father of the Modern Musical, Stephen Sondheim.
A starry ensemble of the area's best will perform over two dozen Sondheim tunes, ranging from the beloved to the obscure. Luisa Forger, Camden; Steve Givens, Georgetown; Carter Huffman, Georgetown; Lorraine Leavel, Milford; Thomas Oxbrough, Millsboro; Abbey Ruark, Georgetown; Ashlie Sayler, Seaford; and Justin Truitt, Dover all lend their vocal talents to immortalize many Sondheim masterpieces (and some that ended on the cutting room floor). John H. Hulse, Rehoboth Beach, stage directs, and Jerry Birl, Rehoboth Beach, music directs. The show's band consists of eight instrumentalists who round out this stellar ensemble. Chase Schirmer, Milford, is the video technician who will bring Stephen Sondheim's clips to life.
