Brighter Than the Sun

Brighter Than the Sun is an autobiographical, anecdotal musical that analyzes the relationship between a young man desperately seeking to come to terms with his identity and his grandmother during both of their upbringings in South Georgia. The narrative is a simple, yet incredibly evocative tale of broken dreams, familial ties, and the concurrent cycles of birth and death that compose everyone’s story.

Writer/Composer: Collin Hendley

Director/Choreographer: Jojo Minasi

Tickets $30 / $35 at the door

Emerging Artists Theatre (EAT) returns with its first Spark Musical Theatre Festival NYC, allowing composers and librettists to present where they are in their creative process  as a work-in-progress with audience feedback. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, talents, and voices. That's never been more evident than now.
