FUTURITY a Musical by The Lisps
Saturdays, May 9 and 16 at 9:30 PM, Friday, May 22 at 8:00 PM, Sunday, May 24 at 7:30 PM

"A rebellion of sincerity in the sea of cold-shouldered, indie irony." - Paper Magazine

Futurity is an original indie-rock musical by Brooklyn-band The Lisps. A theatrically staged song cycle, Futurity tells the story of a Union soldier in the Civil War who is an aspiring science fiction writer. The work fuses traditional Americana, found text, experimental music, and The Lisps' own brand of quirky co-ed pop.

Futurity tells the story of Julian Munro, a lowly foot soldier in the American Civil War with an overactive imagination and a dream to become a writer. Through the double narrative of Julian's wartime experience ripping up Confederate railroad track in southwestern Virginia, and the grimly futuristic novel he is writing along the way, the musical weaves an ominous and bizarre tale of destruction, creation, and utopianism. The protagonist of Julian's science fiction novel, The Inventor, devises an omnipotent steam-powered artificial intelligence that he sees as a panacea for all of humanity's woes. The story is largely narrated by Ada Lovelace, the famous mathematician and Julian's imaginary muse. The music in FUTURITY draws inspiration from every corner of traditional Americana and contemporary indie-rock to paint a quintessentially American scene of war, history, dystopia, and technological hubris. $15

BRUNCH WITH THE BROADWAY BOYS...
A Mothers' Day Celebration
Sunday, May 10 at Noon
"If you love musical theater, you should see the Broadway Boys at the Orlando Cabaret Festival. If you think you don't like musical theater (and you know who you are), you NEED to see the Broadway Boys." - Orlando Sentinel, May 2008

The Broadway Boys are a collection of the hottest tenor voices currently working on the New York Stage. Representing shows such as Wicked, Hairspray, Hair, Jersey Boys, Altar Boyz, Billy Elliott, The Little Mermaid, and many more, the Boys infuse elements of pop/gospel/funk/jazz to traditional Broadway repertoire creating an evening that has been called "a Symphony of Sound." By redefining the musical theater sound for audiences, the Boys are able to present show tune listeners with music that they are familiar with in a new, fresh way while introducing non-theater listeners to an amazing genre of music in musical forms to which they are accustomed. $20, $15 discount price for all mothers who use code JPTIXA2
