Perpetual Sunshine & the Ghost Girls

Written By Creative Currents

Today on Creative Currents, you’ll learn how musicals get made. In this episode, we’re spotlighting one of our Arts Research: Incubation & Acceleration (ARIA) grant projects: Perpetual Sunshine & The Ghost Girls, a new musical theater work that tackles the exploitation of women workers in the early 20th century.

Mark speaks with playwright-lyricist, Sara Cooper, whose recent works include the Broadway-bound show Silver Linings Playbook and HoT, and Lynne Shankel, a faculty member with School of Music, Theater and Dance (SMTD) and a fantastic composer, orchestrator, and music supervisor whose Broadway credits include the shows Allegiance and Crybaby.
