This Month:  Reflec­tions of America

U.S. Pol­i­tics are del­i­cate mat­ters to dis­cuss, espe­cial­ly in a year like 2024. Look­ing back, Cale­do­nia exam­ines four award-win­ning musi­cals and how they reflect the issues and self-iden­ti­ty of Amer­i­can cul­ture con­tem­po­rary to when they debuted. What does Amer­i­ca think of itself and how does that change from the 1930s through today? Fea­tur­ing the award-win­ning pro­duc­tions Of Thee I Sing, Fiorel­lo!, 1776, and Hamil­ton.
