Jason Robert Brown’s Songs for a New World is a powerful, song-driven journey through moments of decision, hope, and transformation. This unique theatrical song cycle weaves together a series of characters—each standing on the precipice of change, facing the unknown with courage, fear, and determination. From a Spanish explorer setting sail to a woman contemplating escape from a troubled relationship, each song tells a story of risk, resilience, and the endless possibilities of a new beginning. With a soaring, genre-blending score and deeply emotional storytelling, Songs for a New World is a moving and exhilarating exploration of the choices that shape our lives.

Songs For A New World

Hillbarn Theatre

From the creator of Rent, the musical that defined a generation, comes the story of a young composer on the eve of his 30th birthday. Struggling to write the next great American musical, Jon can feel the time to make his mark on the world slipping away. As the people he loves move on to new careers and new places, Jon is faced with a choice: find security or follow his destiny. With Jonathan Larson’s trademark style of pop-rock score blended with traditional musical theatre, this exuberant and charming tale will speak to anyone who’s ever gotten lost on their way to finding their dreams.

Utilizing the multi-storied, multi-roomed Strand Theater as non-traditional theater space, audiences will be broken up into four groups that independently tour Fefu’s home. Stories and histories come into play as you happen across conversations as Fefu’s bohemian and raucous cohorts gossip, question, flirt, provoke, and ultimately reveal (or hide?) the universal understandings between women. As muscular and searing in her deliberate use of language as Albee and Miller at their best; as acidic as Clare Boothe Luce’s iconic play The Women; and patron saint to blockbuster hits like Sleep No More—Fornés’s Fefu and Her Friends is an invitation to a theatrical experience like none other.
