Sondheim on Sondheim
to
Hartley/Vey Theatre 100 Lafayette Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802
It isn't often that one gets to tell their own story once they are gone, much less score it. But thanks to a collection of exclusive interview footage and a lifetime of musical achievement, Stephen Sondheim's story, as told through the musical Sondheim on Sondheim, comes remarkably close to the man himself. Created by James Lapine and David Loud, the musical—which features a selection of two dozen Sondheim originals—offers an in-depth and entertaining glimpse into the personal life and artistic process of one of America's most esteemed theatre composers of the 20th century. In the Manship's Hartley/Vey Studio Theatre, Director Paige Gagliano will present Sondheim on Sondheim with Music Director Carter Smith and Conductor David Thorns August 2–3 at 7:30 pm and August 4 at 2 pm. $28. Appropriate for ages 10 and older. manshiptheatre.org.
