ABOUT THE SHOW:
In 1964, after writing lyrics for West Side Story and Gypsy, and making his=20
debut as a composer with A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, the=
=20
world got its first glimpse of Stephen Sondheim=E2=80=99s rebel genius with=20=
Anyone Can=20
Whistle, an absurdist social satire about insanity and conformity. The show=20
tells the story of a town that=E2=80=99s gone bankrupt because its only indu=
stry is=20
manufacturing something that never wears out.

Mayoress Cora Hoover Hooper and her town council flunkies stage a fake=20
miracle ala =E2=80=9CLourdes=E2=80=9D where water flows from a rock to attra=
ct tourists.  When=20
patients at the local mental hospital, the Cookie Jar, escape and mix with t=
he=20
townspeople and tourists, chaos ensues.  The songs are solid gold Sondheim w=
ith=20

process that is intense, challenging and transforming=E2=80=94for participan=

audience alike. People from all walks of life come together to be challenged=
=E2=80=94by=20
