A Marvelous Order
A multimedia opera about Robert Moses, Jane Jacobs and their battle over the future of New York City
Music by Judd Greenstein
Libretto by Tracy K. Smith, US Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winner
Multi-channel Animation by Joshua Frankel
The opera, in two acts, both celebrates the city and the qualities that make it alive and livable – what Jacobs called “the ballet of the street”; and frames the story’s conflict, implicitly, as a love triangle in which Moses and Jacobs vie for the affections of the city.
Through music, poetry, dance and animation, the opera treats titanic figures as human beings driven by emotions.
A MARVELOUS ORDER pushes traditional opera boundaries by complicating its usual composer-led hierarchy. It forgoes the common constraints of opera such as the “bel canto”; It employs amplification, places multi-channel animation throughout, embeds pre-recorded vocalists in animation; and it inverts the female-heroine-victim trope (too common in opera) with Jane Jacobs. It is a visual and literary marvel, treating text, animation and music as equals in the telling of the story.
The production is expected to premiere in 2020 at a venue soon to be announced. It is also under consideration by multiple international cities -- from Amsterdam to Gothenburg to Chicago -- that recognize the universality of its story.

Churchill
Prepare to meet Winston Churchill. The former British Prime Minister made his mark in history as a Nobel Prize winner, respected politician, and one of the greatest leaders the world has ever seen. But in March of 1946, he has just lost an election, is in forced retirement, and everything he has just fought for is threatening to slip through his fingers. When he receives an invitation from United States President Harry S. Truman to speak in Fulton, Missouri, he rediscovers his strength in a speech that impacts the world forever. Ron Keaton brings Winston Churchill to life in a provocative, heart-warming, and hilarious tour de force performance that reveals the man behind the legend.
