Description

World premier Two orphans, Mossy and Tangle, journey together to find what their only possession--The Golden Key--will open. Everyone knows it's the key to something more valuable than gold, though no one seems to know what, exactly. Along the way the two pilgrims meet an Airfish, a thousand year old Grandmother, a very forgetful Old Man of the Sea, a parade of shadows, a clock that marks time in two directions, and other strange beings and events that shape their journey. Adapted from a fairytale by Scottish writer George MacDonald, The Golden Key is a musical fairytale, very much for adults as well as children--it is about what every one of us, in our heart of hearts, most desires. The Golden Key has book and lyrics by Jeffrey Skinner, a poet from the Creative Writing Program in the University of Louisville English Department, and music by Gabe Evens, a pianist and composer in U of L's School of Music. The entire cast is also from the School of Music, and includes voice teachers Emily Albrink and Chad Sloan, and voice majors Olivia Andrews, Cameron Carnes, and Emma Pinkley, making it an interdisciplinary, all University of Louisville production. 2021 Fall Concert Attendance Covid-19 Policy The students and faculty of the UofL School of Music look forward to presenting live performances once again for our campus and surrounding community this Fall 2021 semester.
