At the dawn of the Pandemic, a trio of tenacious musical theatre artists faced a reckoning: How could they adapt their artform to maintain forward momentum in the uncertainty of The Quarantimes? The answer was "The World to Come": a ground-breaking audio series that touched upon the pertinent themes of the day by imagining a future where post-apocalyptic doesn't necessarily mean dystopian. What was created was a world of whimsy, with heightened stakes and battalions of pop-culture references for fans of every entertainment genre. The series, which was recorded, engineered, and mixed remotely during the quatantimes, features over 50 original songs in diverse styles and genres spread throughout a 12 episode season, featuring an incredible troupe of talents from Broadway and beyond. The Fellowship of Fiveboro is a taste of some of the music created for the series.

The Fellowship of Fiveboro is executive produced by Iconoclast Theatre Collective, David Treatman Creative, Rachel Klein, Andy Peterson, and Erik Ransom, produced by Mike Lunoe, Andy Peterson, and Sean Hagerty, mixed by Sean Hagerty and Mike Lunoe, Mastered by Lloyd Kikoler, and features cover artwork created by Scott Lilly (@doodlesbyscott). Songs on the EP feature vocals by Marissa Rosen, Justin Sargent, Tara Martinez, Em Grosland, Sandra Marante, Carson Robinette, Brody Redman and Luis Villabon, with musical performances by Andy Peterson, Mike Lunoe, Mike Rosengarten, Cadence Hira, and Spencer Cohen.
