All The World's A Stage

The Signature Theatre's production _All The World's A Stage_ is a new musical by Adam Gwon (composer-lyricist of _Ordinary Days_ and _Cake Off_) that tells a deeply human story set in 1996. A closeted high school math teacher agrees to mentor a student for a theater competition; their exploration of _Angels in America_ unsettles their small town, and intolerance begins to tighten around them. The show is a rallying cry for authenticity and a tribute to teachers whose courage changes lives, with a vibrantly expressive score. Directed by Matthew Gardiner and music directed by Marika Countouris, the production runs approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes without an intermission.
