Key Changes: Melanie Stinson's Art for Key Changes

WELCOME

There are moments in our lives – key moments in which thresholds are crossed. Whether spurred by forces outside of our control or propelled by choices we make, once we have crossed these thresholds our lives are changed profoundly.

Visiting an array of characters such as the dancer, the secretary, the reader and the housewife at key moments in their lives, Key Changes celebrates the resilience of the human spirit that springs from the ability we have to make conscious choices and see our lives from new perspectives.

Key Changes is an original work of songs and monologues/scenes, with a cast of four, conceived and written by Dr. Michael Ellison, with musical arrangements by Damian Stout.

Featuring: Amanda Berry Jason Pintar Anne C. Staler Kristen Sweeney

Presented by Ryan Repertory Company

Where: The Harry Warren Theatre - an Off Off Broadway house

Performance dates: July 9-10, 14-17 at 8pm; July 10-11, 17-18 at 3pm
