Description
This study aimed to show through theatre a form of music that represented the voice of a community, as well as showcase new theatre in PECK School of the Arts. The goal of this research was to focus on developing songs for the docudrama play This is Washington Park. This is Milwaukee. The second project was developing a musical currently titled The Color Green, and will be composed in preparation for submission to the Theatre Department's New Directions committee. A second goal of this research was to showcase UWM student developed and created works in the art community of Milwaukee, and educate others through theatre on important topics occurring in every day life.
As part of my research, I have researched the Washington Park area in depth, read the manuscript, and spoken with several residents. I have visited the Milwaukee Urban Ecology center and I have been developing new songs and transcribed these works for reproduction. Using a computer program I have used music theory to correctly notate sheet music and lyrics. For The Color Green, I have continued my work developing the script and composing new songs.
