A bit of news regarding UPRISING & RENT.

We're gutted we won't be meeting in person. But we're excited to bring some online goodness in the coming months.

@ForristalClarke @MpTheatricals Thank you both ❤️❤️❤️

[uprising: a musical theatre revolution @UprisingMusical]

Hey y'all. We were planning to make our full programme announcement today but obviously the current situation has delayed that slightly! We're working hard to make UPRISING happen in whatever form that will be. Thanks for sticking with us. Stay tuned and stay safe xxx

This is an idea in these times..!

[Matt Powell (they/them) @mgmpowell]

Ok I have an idea:

In this isolated time I wanna try make a "digital musical thing".
Filming & curating content together around a theme to be "performed online".

Thoughts?

[uprising: a musical theatre revolution @UprisingMusical]

Oh hey.
Sorry we've been quiet.
We've been finishing the hat.
And we can't wait to show it to you.
How does 24th March sound for a programme launch?
Yeah?
Great.
Stay tuned.

Happy Sunday! Are any queer identifying dancers/musical theatre folk free to come play one evening with a concept I'm developing? Working on a short Queered Musical film for my student exhibition.

DM/Recommendations welcome!

23 years ago, Jonathan Larson passed away the day before the first performance of RENT. His writing tackled social issues & formed a unique sound that inspired a generation.

We're thrilled to be performing his iconic work this year at UPRISING & remembering the beautiful human.
