Shakespeare On Love
Adapted from the works of William Shakespeare
with original music by Brian R. Lynner
Shakespeare On Love is a salon-style performance of scenes, songs and sonnets from one of the world's great romantics. Join Shakespeare's greatest characters as they explore the art of love in all its forms - from the silly to the sexy to the sublime.
Voices of The Civil War
by Brian R. Lynner & Lisa Norris
Muscal arrangements by Brian R. Lynner
Meet the leaders, the warriors, the patriots, the zealots and the ordinary men and women caught in an extraordinary struggle that divided and nearly destroyed a nation… Voices of The Civil War explores this tragic chapter of our nation’s history through the words and music of the people who lived it. Weaving together stories, speeches, letters, diaries, and observations with songs and poetry of the era, the performance creates a tapestry of living history that explores the passions that sparked the war, its heroism and horrors – both on and off the battlefield, and its effect on those who survived.
