ACT of CT presents Stephen Schwartz’s SNAPSHOTS: A Musical Scrapbook

ACT (A Contemporary Theatre) of CT is excited to announce their newest endeavor, a world premiere musical experience exclusively for ACT of CT audiences.

Snapshots: A Musical Scrapbook is an original musical which incorporates over two dozen of Stephen Schwartz’s songs, including songs from Wicked, Pippin, Godspell, The Baker’s Wife, Rags, Working, Children of Eden, and Enchanted. The show is a touching and authentic look into how we fall in love and the poignant power of trusting our hearts and memories.

Mr. Schwartz and ACT of CT’s Artistic Director, Daniel C. Levine, alongside ACT of CT’s Music Supervisor, Bryan Perri, have collaborated to create this unique and exciting production.

Director, Daniel C. Levine says, “This is one of the most exciting projects that ACT of CT has created to date. Blending the worlds of theater and streaming to produce this exhilarating new production, has been thrilling for us. We worked with a brilliant NYC-based cinematographer, and our Snapshots cast is truly extraordinary! I believe that this version of Snapshots will be a home-run for our patrons!”
