Tickets are now available for Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club's production of EDGES by Pasek and Paul. Performances will take place on Friday November 30th, Saturday December 1st, and Sunday December 2nd all at 8PM.
Edges is a song-cycle about four burgeoning adults trying to figure it all out. With a modern pop score, wit, and moving ballads, Edges is the first collaboration from the Oscar, Grammy, and Tony award- winning team Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land, The Greatest Showman, Dogfight).
Written in their sophomore year at the University of Michigan, this charming and honest examination of adulthood explores what happens when we are teetering on the edges of our lives. The songs investigate what it's like to be in love, commitment, identity and meaning. Characters deal with confronting emotions, escaping expectations and deciphering complicated relationships. This production of Edges will be an exciting and unique theatrical experience combining movement with storytelling to explore life as a college student.
What do you say in that moment when you more than like someone but might not love them? How do we exist in a Facebook-obsessed world? "Become" entranced by the music, and laugh, cry, and embrace not knowing what comes next.
Edges finds a home at Harvard, where undergraduates Isabella Kwasnik, Bobby Malley, Beck Saine, and Chloe Saracco bring the audience through a series of stories, all the while discovering what it means to grow up. The production is directed by Gregory Lipson, music directed by Jake Tilton, stage managed by Hannah Printz, and produced by Lucy Golub and Sarah Shamoon.
Tickets can be reserved for free by emailing harvardedges@gmail.com. Limited tickets will be available at the door. The show takes place at Leverett Library Theater (accessible via Mill Street, between Plympton and DeWolfe).
