THE SONG IS YOU!
Upcoming Concerts & Cabarets
The Song Is You! celebrates the music, lyrics and artists that give the art form its passion and importance. These concerts showcase the finest theater and film songs while exploring the cultural and historical impact of musical theater as an American art form. Often referred to as a “docu–concert” or live documentary, each TMTP concert combines live performances with commentary and dozens of rare still images and video clips.
In difficult times, the sounds of romance and love help ease the anxiety. This docu-concert will sample some of the best–from Irving Berlin’s “How Deep is the Ocean” and Rogers & Hammerstein’s “Some Enchanted Evening” to Jonathan Larson’s “Without You”.
A Christmas Cabaret (Stocker Arts Center)
This glistening ornament has been delighting audiences since 2005. Instead of carols, favorites like “White Christmas,” “Sleighride,” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”

OUR MISSION
Who We Are, What We Do,
and Why We Do It
For more than 25 years, The Musical Theater Project has preserved and honored 20th-century American musical theater in songs, stories and social history. We serve as a living museum, creating connections with the art form’s past through local live performances and school programs, and in national radio broadcasts, online discussions and recordings.
Our programs are committed to exploring the context behind the chapters in our collective biography, whether the subject matter is complex and challenging or comedic and celebratory. We don't seek to erase history, but rather to reveal moments in the social fabric of our nation with a modern sensibility when it comes to representation and inclusion for our audiences and performers. By approaching the art with this degree of care, our goal is to bring us all closer together in greater understanding of each other, and in joy, hope and love—these are meaningful and uplifting hallmarks of the classic American musical.
