Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program alums Daniel F. Levin and Jonathan Portera (both Cycle 11) will present their musical TO PAINT THE EARTH at The Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City on May 4, 2023.

TO PAINT THE EARTH is the Richard Rodgers’ Award-winning musical that tells the story of the Jewish Underground in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943 and its stunning decision to fight back. In the tradition of “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Les Misérables,” and inspired by memoirs, video, and first-hand accounts from survivors, To Paint the Earth is a sweeping musical about those who were pushed to the brink but refused to give up – ordinary people who, together, planned an armed rebellion despite the overwhelming challenges they faced.

This performance commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and is a first-ever orchestrated concert version of the musical.
