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.
