WORKING TITLE

​A ROK Commission
​Premiered Season 2016-17

​Composed by Benjamin Dean Taylor
​Libretto by Kelsea Webb
​
WORKING TITLE is an innovative musical experience that returns musicians and audience members alike to the playfulness and limitless freedom of theatre!  Guided by audience suggestions, the musicians will craft an original opera, making up music, lyrics, and plot as the performance unfolds.  The audience enjoys a unique glimpse into the creative process, answering the question, "What goes on in the mind of a composer at work?" to blur traditional boundary lines between singer, instrumentalist, and audience member.

Appropriate for middle schoolers, high schoolers, and families | Sung in English
​Performance length: approx. 30 minutes

Black lives matter. 

As an organization, ROK is striving to know better and do better. 

As artists, we hear, see, and lift up our siblings of color. 

And as human beings, we sing out that we must reimagine not only what our art form can be, but much more; what our society must be, locally, nationally, and globally.
