Independence Community Theatre closes its current season with

“Songs for a New World”

With a rousing score that blends elements of pop, gospel and jazz, featuring tight harmonies and darling vocals, “Songs for a New World” transports its audience from the deck of a Spanish sailing ship bound for a new land, to the ledge of a New York penthouse. Characters range from a young man in the Bronx who dreams of becoming a famous basketball player, to a forlorn and neglected Mrs. Claus lamenting as Christmas approaches.
