The Waa-Mu Show is America's largest student-written musical. Support this year's show, which represents the beginning of a transformation in both Waa-Mu's creative development process and faculty mentorship.
The 93rd Annual Waa-Mu show, "Taken Away: A Musical Trilogy," is a unique presentation of three original "short-form" musicals, interconnected by the theme of loss and the poignant exploration of something being taken away.
"The Art of the Heist" is a supernatural tale that follows an artist who must steal back the last portrait of her late lover. "Stolen Thunder" reimagines a Greek myth, portraying an epic struggle for power between Zeus and Athena. In "A Bird's Song," you'll be transported to a whimsical forest-surrounded town outside reality where melodies have transformational consequences.
The Waa-Mu Show is undergoing a transformative shift in its approach to its creative development and faculty mentorship. Under the guidance of Professors Tommy Rapley, Ryan T. Nelson, Karen Olivo (KO), Amanda Dehnert, and Masi Asare, the Waa-Mu student writers and ensemble cast have collaboratively shaped an emotionally resonant and visually spectacular production that will captivate audiences with its multifaceted exploration of loss and resilience.
