A WORLD NOT SO WIDE

new one-act musical

Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, January 2019

Playground Festival of Independent Student Work XVI

"Eileen travels to Paris to attend a highly-selective composition festival. Here, she meets people from all across the world that are reflective of different races, cultures, ideologies, genders, and nations. Though she is immersed in a unique, diverse community of people, each and every character is connected by sharing the same passion: writing music. Through creative struggles, dark secrets coming to light, and the emergence of life-long friendships, Eileen's perspective on the world is completely altered; her life forever changed."

This new musical was staged in 10 hours for CMU's annual festival of student work.
