University Theatre Presents Premier of Broadcast
UNL's Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film's University Theatre and the School of Music present the premier of Broadcast, a new musical about the early history of radio with music by Scott Murphy and book & lyrics by Nathan Christensen. Performances are in the Lied Center's Johnny Carson Theater October 27 at 7:30 p.m. and October 28 and 29 at both 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $16, $14 faculty/staff and senior citizens, and $10 students with ID. 4-Admission Season Passes are $50, $40 faculty/staff and senior citizens. Tickets and passes are available at the Lied Center Ticket Office, 301 North 12th Street or by credit card at 402-472-4747 or 800-432-3231 Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The show's story spans 1901 to 1950, when visionaries and skeptics dealt with the new world of global possibilities sparked by the evolution of wireless communication. The audience will meet a wide variety of characters at pivotal moments in their lives forever changed by the presence of radio. As the characters so succinctly summarize: "The sound of a new age of history. You wanna listen? Freedom to choose if you think about it. Miracles at the touch of a dial." In 2005, Broadcast won the Daryl Roth Award, the Jonathan Larson Award, and the Richard Rodgers Award.
The production is directed by Coordinator of Musical Theatre Studies, Alisa Belflower, musically directed by Assistant Professor Therees Hibbard, choreographed by guest artist, Daniel Kubert, and designed by Associate Professor Wenhai Ma (scenic), alum Jeff O'Brien (sound), graduate student Cassie Vorbach (lighting-thesis project), and undergraduate Joy Barlean (costumes).
