How The Light Gets In: An Evening of New American Micro-Musical Works

How The Light Gets In is a new concert presentation of micro-musicals – 30 minutes or less – commissioned by NYMF (with support from The ASCAP Foundation and Jan Brandt), in an effort to create more space for arts-based civic engagement in our Festival.

Directed by Jonathan McCrory (National Black Theatre) and co-curated by Zhailon Levingston (Broadway Advocacy Coalition), participating artists include: Ty Defoe and Tidtaya Sinutoke with Water Is Life; Lelund Durond Thompson and Jason Michael Webb with Ilathi: The Gift; and Ryan Scott Oliver and Nessie Nankivell with Otherbody. A moderated conversation with artists discussing the process of developing their micro-musicals will follow the concert.
