Director’s Note
“35MM: A Musical Exhibition” teaches us that a simple photograph captures a moment in time, a mood, a story, an attitude, a part of history. Each of these songs, by Ryan Scott Oliver is inspired by a single photograph by Mathew Murphy. Tonight, we ask the audience to look at the style and content of each photograph, listen carefully to the song it inspired, and consider how this photo and this song is interpreted by our actors and singers. Tonight, time stops, for a moment, as you watch, listen, and appreciate.
Enjoy the show.
Daniel-Raymond Nadon
