Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program alum Tyrone Robinson (Cycle 20) opened his new musical SHOW WAY at The Kennedy Center.
With a score by Robinson and adapated from the book by Jacqueline Woodson tells the story of Soonie's great-grandma who was just seven years old when she was sold to a big plantation without her ma and pa, with only some fabric and needles to call her own. She began to stitch a Show Way, a quilt with secret meanings to show enslaved people the way to freedom. As each generation passes, the Show Way shines a light on the past and paves a road to the future, stitching together possibility and promise.
