Night of Songs

Night of Songs will feature music from 3 new musicals. Performing Filipina, a new “kind-of” musical by Lianah Sta. Ana, tells stories of “The Filipina Woman” and how she came to be. The show blends original compositions with reimagined Filipino folk songs, traditional book scenes with poetry and spoken word, and follows six Filipinas as they investigate and unravel their culture, history, identity, and memory to reclaim “The Filipina Woman” on their own terms. Fusing traditional, Mexican folk music and Mestizo folklore, Roja is a new twist on the Little Red Riding Hood story. An enchanting journey of love, loss, and resilience, set against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution. When an unexpected one-night stand tumbles into a cross-country road trip, Jess and Linc find themselves in a month-long crash course on one another as they try to outrun the lives they left behind. We Start In Manhattan is a queer, two-hander rom-com about how 3,000 miles, 30 days, and 1 hatchback can force two strangers to get deep with each other – and ultimately themselves, because sometimes the person who knows you least can change you the most.
