OperaTion Youth

June 5 & 6, 2015

Join us for an extraordinary presentation of two new opera/musical theatre works written and performed by local youth.

Two Cities
A lonely giant. An endless ocean. A statue that grows people. And more. Come see what unfolds when the bickering citizens of Elegance and Poverty decide that only war can settle their differences in the “Once-Upon-a-Time” tale of Two Cities.

Seconds, Years, Forever.
How do you define friendship? Can there be an equal amount of love among three people? In this moving story of trust, betrayal and reconciliation three lives are changed forever when long-kept secrets are finally revealed.
