The Flint School of Performing Arts will present “Lullabies Live: A Mother’s Love in Song." Ten songs from FSPA’s Carnegie Hall Lullaby Projects will be performed live in a fundraiser to support future projects.

The Lullaby Project invites young pregnant women and new parents to work with professional musicians to create a personalized lullaby for their children. When the Carnegie Hall Lullaby Project was established in 2015, FSPA was one of only 15 organizations invited to take part, making it one of the pioneers. Of the 15 original organizations, six were able to complete a lullaby in the first year, and FSPA was one of them.

FSPA lullabies have been performed live at Carnegie Hall in New York, and have gotten hundreds of thousands of hits on the Carnegie Hall Soundcloud.

Message from the executive office

One of the exciting features of the Flint Repertory Theatre’s New Works Festival is the opportunity to witness the development of a play in the early journey of bringing it to the stage. If you’ve ever left a theatre with burning questions about the meaning behind a scene or an unexpected twist to the play’s ending, the NWF is your chance to engage the playwright with questions and comments – right on the spot. I hope you’ll join us to be entertained and challenged by the difficult topics and issues presented by these wonderful artists.

And as always, I wish you a safe and wonderful week-end!
