Jason Robert Brown’s Songs for a New World is a thrilling, contemporary song cycle that captures the electric moment just before everything changes. In a series of bold, intimate stories, we meet characters standing at life’s crossroads, hearts pounding, futures unwritten.
From a Spanish explorer launching into the unknown to a woman weighing escape from a love that no longer holds her, each song crackles with risk, longing, and resolve. These are stories of leaps of faith, of breaking free, of choosing hope when the path ahead is anything but certain.
Driven by a soaring, genre-blending score that fuses pop, gospel, jazz, and musical theatre, Songs for a New World is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Exhilarating, emotional, and unapologetically human, this production invites you to witness the moment before the world changes… and ask yourself what leap you might take next.

The Board of Directors works strategically with the staff to ensure Hillbarn Theatre is the best that it can possibly be. This has been accomplished under the capable leadership of the current chair, Lisa WolfKlain, the former chair, Paul Regan, Gary Harris, and several others in the past. Hillbarn is the sixth oldest continuously operating amateur theater company in the nation and is the oldest company in San Mateo County. Since 1995, Hillbarn has won a Theater Critics Circle Award, was accepted at the Edinburgh Theatre Festival, was honored with several mayoral proclamations for excellence in theatrical production and education, three Dean Goodman Awards for Artistic Excellence, and a Foster City Honors Award for the Executive Director in 2003. In an interview, former Artistic Director Scott Williams said: “Hillbarn is an idea. Hillbarn began as a vision of Bob and Sam, essentially, and it has stayed coalesced around their vision. People who came here understood they had the vision, and it was an extraordinary one…They created a good feeling, a great viable organization, and they had a marvelous ability to bring people into the process.” Hillbarn is more than just a place, it’s a community that will remain forever a legacy to their memories and a benefit to the cultural life of not only the citizens of Foster City, but all who share in its community ideals.
